We were having breakfast up on a deck one cool morning before the start of our activities, when we were suprised by a breeding herd of elephants. The elephants broke off and out of the island, crossing the straight to the main area. This was such an amazing moment! The young bulls trailed behind, play fighting and swimming. To see this is uncommon and...

 Not even 5 minutes from the lodge, a pack of wild dogs were found. So off we went to investigate one of the most elusive and exciting animals the African bush has to offer. As we arrived we saw that the dogs had surrounded a Marula tree, and were jumping up and down, yelping. I then gazed upwards and saw the cause of the excitement. There, above...

 On our way back from a game drive this morning, we decided to have another look at a pack of wild dogs that had been spotted earlier, literally around the corner from the lodge. When we arrived, all that there was to be found was a troop of baboons, not far from the site we had left the pack earlier. Two big male baboons came hurdling towards us,...

 A Tawny eagle suddenly dropped from the sky heading towards a tree not too far ahead of us. We followed and were lead to the remains of an Impala carcass up a tree. The eagle fed for a while and eventually the carcass fell to the ground. Next on the scene was a pair of bateleurs, and that’s where the excitement really started. Having seen the...

With winter season paving way for spring, hundreds and hundreds of dazzling herds of zebras is pouring in at Xaranna's open grassland plains. A true emulation of Serengeti in East Africa. Zebras in this area might be migratory as well.

 It has, so far, been an amazing year for turtles on Mnemba. A record number of nests means a record number of hatchings. Last night we all gathered together to escort 105 tiny turtles to the water. It was a great nest with all the babies in good condition, flipping down the sand to the sea in mere minutes. Watching their absolute determination to make...

To those who have seen the Lion King, the warthog is possibly one of the cutest animals in the bush. In reality, if two dominant males cross paths, a fight to the death can ensue. Today at 1:00, we had just started ascending from the floor when we witnessed two large male warthogs engaged in a violent battle. They bumped heads and tried to gouge...

After not having seen any wild dogs for a few weeks, they are now back! The best part is that we only had to drive 5 minutes from the camp to see them. I spent the entire morning drive with the dogs, which my guests were quite happy to do. We watched them play, running circles around my vehicle. A tawny eagle had been picking on a left over impala...

For my bird breading project within the conservation area, I have been very lucky to make interesting observations. Today in particular at Musalaba Mkubwa around 8:30 am, we were lucky enough to witness the mating routine of the world’s largest flightless bird: the ostrich. For several minutes the male rhythmically waved its magnificent wings and...

It is not common for us to see snakes as there are too many hiding places. Unfortunately for one snake near Ngoitoktok picnic site, we did not get enough time to identify it. It was about one and half meters long and green in colour. It was spotted from high above by a black-chested snake eagle. The eagle swooped in and grabbed its unsuspecting prey...
