🐦 Meet the Kori Bustard, Africa’s Giant Flyer!

Fact Thursday: Did you know?

The Kori Bustard is the heaviest flying bird in Africa and one of the most impressive sights on safari?
Adult males can weigh up to 19 kg and stretch nearly 3 meters across in wingspan. Despite this massive size, they spend most of their time walking calmly through open grasslands, taking flight only when necessary.

✨ Where to Spot Them in Kenya:
You can encounter Kori Bustards in the open savannas of Maasai Mara National Reserve, Amboseli National Park, Tsavo National Park, and Nairobi National Park, where wide plains provide the perfect habitat.

✨ What Makes Them Fascinating:
• Omnivorous diet, feeding on insects, small reptiles, seeds, and berries
• Males perform spectacular courtship displays, inflating a throat pouch, raising their tail, and spreading their wings to appear larger and more impressive
• They nest on the ground, usually laying 1–2 eggs, and chicks can walk shortly after hatching
• Their slow, deliberate stride often makes them look like royalty of the savannah

🌍 Conservation Status: Near Threatened, mainly due to habitat loss, disturbance, and hunting pressures.

Spotting a Kori Bustard on safari is always a special moment, a reminder of how diverse and extraordinary Kenya’s wildlife truly is.

Nature Fact 🌿🔬

Did you know acacia trees can warn each other of danger? When attacked, they release chemical signals that alert nearby trees to protect themselves. Nature is smarter than we think.

This is the Mara River, a river of life, danger and survival.

It begins high in Kenya’s Mau Escarpment at the Napuiyapi Swamp, nearly 3,000 metres above sea level. As it flows down, it is fed by several important tributaries like the Amalo, Nyangores, Talek, Engare, Sand and Engito rivers. These rivers carry water from forests, hills and grasslands, keeping the Mara alive as it travels through different landscapes.

The Mara River cuts through the Kenyan rangelands, where open savannah grasslands are used for grazing livestock and small to medium scale farms. Further south, it flows into the Masai Mara National Reserve, merging with most of its tributaries, providing water to elephants, hippos, crocodiles, birds and countless other species.

On the Kenya–Tanzania border, it enters Serengeti National Park, where it is joined by the Sand River. In these protected areas, the river supports the richest wildlife populations in Africa.

Every year, the Mara River becomes the stage for the Great Migration. Millions of wildebeest, zebras and gazelles cross its strong waters, facing fast currents, deep channels and waiting crocodiles. Some make it, while others don’t. This dangerous spectacle is why the Mara River is often called the River of Death.

Despite its beauty and life-giving power, the Mara River faces serious challenges. Deforestation in the Mau Escarpment reduces the forest cover that feeds the river. Soil erosion and siltation clog the river, lowering water quality and making crossings even more dangerous. Water diversion for irrigation and farms reduces its flow, especially during dry seasons.

High human and livestock pressure downstream, particularly in Tanzania’s Mara wetlands, affects the river’s health. Climate change is also causing unpredictable rainfall, with floods and droughts threatening both wildlife and communities.

The Mara River is life for wildlife, people and the landscapes it touches, but it is fragile. Every challenge it faces puts the migration, ecosystems and the communities that depend on it at risk.

The Mara River is a river of struggle, survival and hope.
The heart of East Africa.

Elephants communicate using very low-frequency sounds called infrasound. These sounds travel through the earth as vibrations, which other elephants feel through their feet and trunks.

This powerful ability allows them to sense danger, locate family members, and coordinate movement over several kilometers, even when the sound is far too low for humans to hear.

One of nature’s most incredible communication systems, happening right beneath our feet.
