The famous cheetah that gave birth last year near the lookout hill by the mara river is doing well despite the loss of one cub to lions around November. This annoyed the mother cheetah and she went across the sand river to Serengeti for a while and came back over christmas safely with the three cubs. Of late the leap has been hanging around Burrungat plains and the cubs have grown big and look healthy.

Today on full day game drive Daniel and Gordon with their guests came across the family by a lonely tree and they looked relaxed and peaceful.

The short rains came and subsided shortly in November last year but came back in full swing over christmas and after new year.This has facilitated good pasture growth in the open savannah in maasai mara reserve, enjoyed by the gazelles currently. The cheetahs inturn have been attracted to this fields and driving through can reward with the cats sighting.

Daniel on full day game drive came across a cheetah and a cub that had made a kill a few minutes before arriving. The sun was biting hard but they continued to fill before the larger predators come to take over and was stunning to watch them feeding.

Alex with his two guests left the camp with a mission to explore the sand river. The main target was the sand river lion pride found on the rock kopjes near the gate. On arriving at the territory the search didnt last long before his spotter saw some movement at a distance and informed Alex. Driving there was really worth it as they found a cheetah and four small cubs at least a month old. The cubs were learning walking and at the same time discovering the new niche.

Alex explained to the guests that being lion territory it posed them a lot of risk and the mother could be aware and thats why they were on the move to a safer territory. The guests were really impressed and even after finding the big pride of lion the peak of the day remained the cheetah sighting.

on a full day game drive Daniel and his guests had a special moment just a while after getting into the reserve. Daniel stopped to explain the vegetation of the reserve from east to west when the spotter asked him for a pair of binocular. After finishig the explanation sena the spotter asked Daniel if he could drive to the left behind some bushes half  kilometer away as there is surprise!

Just before arriving the dominant male rhino of that area emerged and was somehow in a hurry. It sniffed twice on the ground and Daniel told the guests that it must be following a female. It quickly moved past the car  into the bushes and in a moment we heard a commotion and shortly saw a female with it behind the bushes.

Charles left early to Maasai Mara Reserve with a mission to cover along Talek river and  Misigiyoi areas as these are the areas rich with herbivores at the moment which also has attracted the big cats.

While along Talek river the sighting of a lioness with her two healthy cubs was so incredible that they stayed there observing for almost an hour. The lioness licking the cub was so lovely and the response by the cub to lick back the lioness was like" i also do love you mum."

Elephants take regular mud baths, this is important to keep the skin moisturerised. The mud also acts as a sun block.

Peter and his four guests were on game-drive around Posee plains when they came across a huge herd of elephants feeding. As they were driving through the herd they noticed three elephants trying to get as much mud on themselves as they could. Peter's guests found it interesting to watch such huge animals try squeeze and fit themselves in the same small mud hole.
