The Aquila Staring!

The Tawny Eagle (Aquila rapax) is a large bird of prey. Like all eagles, it belongs to the family Accipitridae.
It breeds in most of Africa both north and south of the Sahara Desert and across tropical southwestern Asia to India. It is a resident breeder which lays one to three eggs in a stick nest in a tree or crag or on the ground.
Throughout its range, it favours open dry habitats such as desert, semidesert, steppes, or savannah plains.
The tawny eagle's diet is largely fresh carrion of all kinds, but it kills small mammals up to the size of a rabbit, reptiles, and birds up to the size of guineafowl. As an opportunistic scavenger, the Tawny Eagle will also steal prey from other raptors. Birds who do this are known as ‘kleptoparasites’. These magnificent birds of prey can be observed alongside other large raptors, such as Vultures, ripping into carcasses.

This lovely Tawny Eagle was captured during a Photography Safari on a late evening game drive in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania.

The Fischer's Lifer!

Fischer's sparrow-lark (Eremopterix leucopareia) or Fischer's finch-lark is a species of passerine bird in the family Alaudidae. It is found from central Kenya to eastern Zambia, Malawi and north-western Mozambique. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland.

A small, compact, finch-like sociable lark that can be both resident and nomadic, although movements are poorly understood. The sexes differ in plumage: the distinctive male has a tawny crown and nape, bold pale ear-patches, and otherwise dark face and throat that stretch as a line down the belly to the vent; the dull streaky female has a buffy eyebrow and a dark breast and belly patch. Immature is similar to the female. Small-to-medium-size flocks prefer semi-arid grassland and bare fields. Compare to Chestnut-backed Sparrow-Lark, in which both sexes are darker and more contrasting than Fischer’s Sparrow-Lark.

The beautiful Fischer's Sparrow-Lark is a lifer and was sighted on a photography safari during an early morning game drive in Amboseli National Park, Kenya

Queen of the Savannah at Sunrise!

The eldest female in a Pride is the "Queen of the Jungle" as she is the one who keeps the pride together and disciplines anybody who gets out of line. She is also in the lead of all hunting expeditions passing on her wisdom to the younger Lionesses.
This beautiful lioness was eagerly looking towards the days activities of the rest of the pride which may result in a successful hunt to feed them.

This beautiful Lionesses of the Enkoyanai pride, was captured during a Photography Safari on an early morning game drive in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya.

The Colourful Malachite!

The Malachite Kingfisher (Corythornis cristatus) is a river kingfisher which is widely distributed in Africa south of the Sahara. It is largely resident except for seasonal climate-related movements.
Malachite kingfishers are typically seen near water, perched on reeds or branches over slow-moving water. After detecting its prey, it flies down to the water and catches it. It then returns to the perch and often beats the prey before it is swallowed, head first if it is a fish. While waiting for prey, the bird often bobs its head, raises and lowers its crest and flicks its tail. Perches are located 20-50 cm above the water, generally in areas of scattered vegetation with high fish density. This kingfisher is a diurnal bird and is usually solitary, apart from in the breeding season. Being a strongly territorial species, interactions between the owners and intruders may happen, involving threat displays, bill-grappling, flying attacks and aerial chases.

This beautiful Malachite Kingfisher was captured on a Photography Safari during an early morning game drive at the Hyena Dam in Nairobi National Park, Nairobi, Kenya.

The Giant Loxodonta!

The African bush elephant (Loxodonta africana), also known as the African savanna elephant, is the largest living terrestrial animal with bulls reaching a shoulder height of up to 3.96 m (13.0 ft). They have the largest brain and longest gestation period of any land animal with each pregnancy averaging 21.5 months.
Since elephants are so large, they require an enormous amount of food.
Its diet consists mainly of grasses, creepers and herbs. Adults can consume up to 150 kg (330 lb) per day. During the dry season, the diet also includes leaves and bark. Tree bark in particular contains a high level of calcium. Elephants drink 180–230 Litres of water daily, and seem to prefer sites where water and soil contains sodium.

This handsome and very huge fully grown bull Elephant on his daily route down to the watering hole for his daily drink was captured on a Photography Safari on an early morning game drive in Ol Jogi Wildlife Conservancy, Laikipia, Kenya.

The Randy King at Sunset!

Most lionesses reproduce by the time they are four years of age. Lions do not mate at a specific time of year and the females are polyestrous. Like those of other cats, the male lion's p***s has spines that point backward. During withdrawal of the p***s, the spines rake the walls of the female's va**na, which may cause ovulation. A lioness may mate with more than one male when she is in heat. They normally mate after every 15-20 minutes for 2-3 days whilst on their honeymoon. The average gestation period is around 110 days; the female gives birth to a litter of between one and four cubs in a secluded den, which may be a thicket, a reed-bed, a cave, or some other sheltered area, usually away from the pride.

King Olobor of Black Rock Pride was trying to entice the Queen of Maji ya Fisi Pride who was not interested in his advances. Captured during a Photography Safari on a late evening game drive in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya.

The Hammerhead!

The hamerkop (Scopus umbretta), is a medium-sized wading bird. The shape of its head with a long bill and crest at the back is reminiscent of a hammer, which has given this species its name after the Afrikaans word for hammerhead. It is a medium-sized waterbird with brown plumage. It is found in Africa, Madagascar and Arabia, living in a wide variety of wetlands, including estuaries, lakesides, fish ponds, riverbanks, and rocky coasts. The hamerkop is a sedentary bird that often shows local movements.

This beautiful Hamerkop was captured busy preening itself during a photographic safari on late evening game drive in Nairobi National Park, Kenya the only national park in the world within a city.

The Golden Crowned Beauty!

The Grey Crowned Crane (Balearica regulorum), is a bird in the crane family, Gruidae. It is found in eastern and southern Africa and is the national bird of Uganda. The name is due to its yellow crown of feathers, tipped with black. This crane moves gracefully in a most stately manner with a very dignified gait. In flight it is beautiful, using slow down strokes followed by quick upward strokes of its wings.
The Grey Crowned Crane has a breeding display involving dancing, bowing, and jumping. It has a booming call which involves inflation of the red gular sac. It also makes a honking sound quite different from the trumpeting of other crane species. Both sexes dance, and immature birds join the adults. Dancing is an integral part of courtship, but also may be done at any time of the year.

This beautiful Grey Crowned Crane was busy feeding in a swamp and was captured during a Photography safari on an early morning game drive in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya.

International Leopard Day 2026!

The thrill of a safari is always one of the draws of the African savannah. The sun starts to rise, peeking up over the horizon of the valleys. Guests head out with sleepy eyes that quickly become vigilant as a breath of fresh air wakes them. The excitement builds of what is to come.
In honour of International Leopard Day, let me share some incredibly fascinating facts about one of the most sought-after members of the big five.
The leopard is the most elusive of all the big predators. They are well camouflaged making the sight of them even more rewarding.
Most leopards are light in colour with distinctive dark spots, called rosettes. The rosettes consist of groups of 5 to 6 spots arranged in a tight ring. This feline varies in size and colour depending on the location and habitat. Leopards are found all over sub-Saharan Africa. They occupy the grasslands that have trees in which they can hide and sleep during the heat of the day.

Queen Kaboso and her mate, Golden Boy were sighted on their honeymoon and busy procreating in the wild.
Captured during a Photography Safari on an early morning game drive in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya.
