We were on a morning game drive in Maasai Mara National Park, when we decided to go check out one of the frequently used crossing point on the Mara river. As we reached the crossing point, we noticed a herd of African elephants on the river bank. Instinctively we knew...

This post is about a spectacular sighting that we had of an African Elephant in Maasai Mara. One of our morning game drives in the Park started with the intention of first checking if the Leopard we saw the previous evening was still around or not. We drove non-stop...

After “Breakfast by the Hippo Pool” in Maasai Mara National Park, we headed out to scan the popular crossing points on the Mara River. Enroute we saw this African elephant headed to the Mara river, probably to quench her thirst. This little fellow...
