During one of our safaris in Maasai Mara, we saw an Elephant herd jostling for space on a rock! And guess why were they jostling – it was to scratch their undersides! When we stopped to take a closer look at them, the Elephants too stopped, to check what we were...

The famous Cheetah brothers who we have been following along the Maasai Mara-Serengeti border, were going about their patrolling business. We hoped that they would not cross over into Serengeti as we would not be able to follow them. Lucky for us, they decided to take...

Our search for a good sighting of an African Leopard in Serengeti was finally answered on our last drive into Serengeti National Park. We heard over the radio that a Leopard was spotted on a tree in Central Serengeti and we drove to that area to find this beautiful...
