Reporting Date: 8TH NOVEMBER 2011
Ranger Kokan had just picked up his four guests from the kogatende airstrip in the morning and introduced them to the serengeti by first viewing the Mara river which at the moment is swollen as a result of the seasonal rains.There-after, as they did a game drive to the camp, the guests were rewarded with a sighting of the largest spotted cat in africa sunning itself on one of the Kopjes(rocky outcrop). It was very relaxed and was using its tongue to leak its paws as if it had already gotten its breakfast. "Oh what a cute cat !", this was the exclamation that came from one of Kokans guests from the back seat. They were full of admiration for africa's most shy and elusive cat which most of the time would be seeing you when you dont see it.
