On the last afternoon on the Narok side of the Masai Mara we went to spend our last afternoon with the Cheetah mum and two cubs. On the way we called to the area where we had heard that the other the Notch boys and the Rekero Pride had also taken down a hippo that morning, the same morning as...
Up until this morning the last couple of days have been a little quieter in terms of sightings and animal behavior. We had a fleeting glimpse of a male Leopard around Smelly crossing but sadly not long enough to get any shots or ID who he was as he soon moved into dense forest and despite trying to track where...
We caught up with all 11 members of the Rekero Pride yesterday morning, hanging around the large rocks in the Talek by Rekero. Relaxing on the bank of the river they gradually began moving into the middle of the river crossing over the large granite boulders. The light was a little strange in the morning so was not great for...
Although we had plans to head to the Musiara Marsh mid way during our trip we have decided to make a slight change of plan and at present continue to stay around the Olkiombo area. Whilst we are keen to hook up with the Marsh Pride and see how they are doing as well as to see the Marsh breakaway...
Compared to the last couple of days with great Leopard sightings yesterday was a little quieter, but nonetheless still a good day. First we managed to catch up with the Notch Coalition, south of the Talek River, although sadly arriving at the sighting when the light had started to become a little 'harsh' and unfortunately not during the 'golden hour' in...
After an awesome morning with Olives Cub (Saba) the luck with Leopard sightings continued into the afternoon of the 3rd.We heard that a female Leopard had been spotted just south of the Talek so of course we hot footed it over, on the way spending a few brief moments with one of the sub adult males from the Rekero pride...
Given the minor (I hope!) mechanical issues we had the day prior we decided that until we could have a look at the problem we should keep ourselves local and not venture too far. So we decided to return again to the area where we had yesterday seen Olive's cub. This proved to be a good plan!As we came up...
They say things come in 'threes' and on the morning of the 2nd it most certainly did.! Fortunately the association was a positive one (although life in the bush never comes without a few issues...
Finally after a crazy work schedule in the UK we are finally both back in the Mara now for a little over two weeks hopefully giving us plenty of time to catch up on whats been happening since the trip in March. We arrived into the Mara late on Thursday (28th) after the usual bone rattling 6 hour drive from...
Finally I have got around to loading on some new images onto our photography website www.imagesofwildlife.co.uk taken during my last trip to the Mara with a few new ones from last year. For those who follow our adventures check back here again in two months time as we return to the Masai Mara in Kenya at the end of June for...
