Wish We Were Here

Part of Great Plains Conservation’s Réserve-Collection, Mara Nyika is an uber-luxurious tented camp hidden in a valley in Kenya's Naboisho Conservancy – one of the finest spots in Africa from which to see big cats.
With just 5 suites privacy is guaranteed, but it is the little touches of luxury which elevates the property above so many of its competitors – an exercise bike, dumbbells and yoga mat in each suite; memory foam pillows; a pair of hi-spec binoculars and an even higher-spec professional camera to use.

Who rules the world? Well, in lemur society the females rule! At the centre of lemur society is a female leader who rises to the occasion of directing a social group. This happens quite rarely in mammals, where male dominance generally stands.

Summer’s here and the time is right - for heading off to Africa. Regarded as the land of safari and savannah, it is perhaps less well-known for its sunny sands and superb seaside. The Maldives or Mediterranean may spring to mind when you think of powder-white beaches, crystal-clear waters and swaying palm trees, but make room in your mind for Africa as the continent is blessed with some of the finest stretches of sand that the planet has to offer.

July is an excellent time to view the game at Kenya's Amboseli National Park. The dry weather means that the park’s famous elephant herds and other wildlife hang out close to marshes and water sources. On clear mornings, the epic backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro becomes increasingly visible, while reduced vegetation and comfortable temperatures make game viewing pleasant.

The cheetah's long muscular tail works like a rudder, stabilising, and acting as a counterbalance to its body weight. Swinging the tail back and forth continually adjusting to the movement of prey allows for sudden sharp turns during high speed chases.

July is perhaps the most thrilling month for witnessing the dramatic river crossings of the Great Wildebeest Migration. Hungry crocodiles lie in wait beneath the murky waters of the Mara River, thrashing the waters into a feeding frenzy as the first herds begin to cross.
