by Thomas | Apr 8, 2018 | Africa, Animals, Endangered Species, Featured, Kenya, Maasai Mara

African Elephant herds are widespread residents of Maasai Mara. However, they are not as common as they are in Amboseli National Park. On this safari, we spotted a mother with its calf at a distance. Once the two came close to us, the mother Elephant paused for a few...

Watching the largest herd of African Elephants in Amboseli National Park

by Thomas | Jan 28, 2018 | Africa, Amboseli, Animals, Endangered Species, Featured, Kenya

Suckling African Lion cubs in Amboseli National Park

by Thomas | Sep 17, 2017 | Africa, Amboseli, Animals, Endangered Species, Featured, Kenya

On one of our evening game drives at the Amboseli National Park, we spotted a couple of Lion cubs sitting close to the road. There was not a single Lioness in sight. I guess most of them were on a hunt. The cubs looked hungry and listless, so we left them to mind...
