Safety in numbers is a real thing in the wild.

In Kenya’s Naboisho Conservancy, we spotted zebras, giraffes, impalas, and gazelles calmly grazing together. It’s a survival strategy.

By forming mixed-species groups, these animals increase their chances of spotting danger early. More eyes, more ears, better protection from predators like lions.

Want to experience the power of nature’s partnerships up close? Let’s plan your custom safari.

Elephants are the largest land animals on Earth and among the most emotionally intelligent. I have never been on a safari where guests are not in awe the moment they see one for the first time.

They live in close family groups led by a matriarch and form strong bonds. They care for the young, mourn their dead, and greet each other with clear joy after time apart.

It is not just what elephants are that makes them unforgettable. It is what they feel.

Hippos are semi-aquatic and can spend up to 18 hours a day in the water, but here’s the twist: hippos can’t swim or float. Instead, they walk or stand on riverbeds. The water acts as a shield against the harsh African sun to protect their sensitive skin.

Part 3: My Maasai Guide Explains— Women Build the Homes, With Their Bare Hands

A male lion on the move. The wildebeest? Already locked in.
They’ve seen this before—and they know they have the speed advantage.

What looks like a dramatic showdown is often a strategic pause. Lions rely on stealth, not speed, and wildebeest, despite their reputation for not being the smartest, are alert and ready.

These are the moments that unfold when you take the time to truly observe the wild.

Call it a studio—if studios had lion traffic and elephant cameos..

This hidden photo hide in Kenya’s Lumo Conservancy lets you quietly slip into the background while lions, buffalo, and more come to you. Built with local materials and smart design, it’s perfect for photographers who want more than the usual drive-by wildlife encounter.

And for those who want to stay even longer—yes, you can spend the night. With built-in beds and a front-row view of the watering hole, this is as close as it gets to waking up in the wild.

Zebras Are Jerks (Sometimes)

Turns out, zebras don’t just graze and gallop. They kick with purpose, and it’s usually personal.
Male zebras are known for aggressive sparring, especially during mating season. Even females won’t hesitate to throw their hooves if someone gets too close.

🎙️ New podcast drop: Kenya’s known for safaris—but there’s a whole other side to the story.

I talk with Patrick Simpai Ledama from Two Million Trees, a grassroots organization working deep in the Maasai Mara. Planting trees, restoring land, and backing up communities who are living right on the edge of climate and conservation pressures.

If you care about what real impact looks like—on the ground, by the people—it’s worth a listen.
