Why walk?

It’s not uncommon for baby baboons to jockey on the back of mom’s back. On this occasion a guest asked a really good question “what would it be like to be a baby baboon?”

Anyone have a good answer?😅

A giraffe trying on a new hat.😅

When it comes to giraffe there is a question I haven’t been able to answer.

If a giraffe wears a neck tie, does it wear it at the top of its neck underneath its chin or does it wear it at the base of its neck?

That was quick.😧

The cub of the Piccadilly female is slowly becoming a great hunter just like her mother! Just after this she caught 2 dwarf mongoose pups!

You might not be as wise as an old owl, but you sure are a hoot to me!😉

Just to confirm, due to its size it is referred to as a Verreaux’s Eagle Owl!🦉

I love spending time with elephants!🔥

On this occasion I almost got boxed in by 2 big elephant bulls! Smaller one in front and a much bigger one at the back! But reading their body language and scanning the surroundings lead to a sighting my guests won’t forget any time soon!🥳

Look at this!🤩

Nothing really to see here, but what is happening is this lioness is getting loads of information about her surroundings up wind of her!

By breathing in she is testing the air for any potential prey, danger or food in the area, the same way a snake uses its forked tongue to get a better idea of its surroundings!
Nature is amazing!

Why does it do that?🤷🏻‍♂️

The question refers to why the elephant is bashing the grass tufts against its leg! Let me know in the comments what you’re thinking!👏

What is he watching?🧐

A lone Gijima male was just south of the camps, I had some shrubbery in front of me so I couldn’t see what he was watching.

A lion’s vision always astounds me!

I was not expecting that…😐

Normally a leopard would keep a little distance from the car… But on this occasion the Flat Rock male didn’t move away!

I like to say I’m pretty good at picking my space to stop the car and allowing the animals to walk past but on this occasion this leopard didn’t move far away, he walked right next to me and looked up!😧

It’s a little different when there is no door between you and these big cats! What a crazy experience, being vulnerable, exposed and yet feeling so safe!
