There are certain things that are inescapable, no matter where you may live in the world. One such unavoidable natural dynamic is the ever changing seasons. With the southern African sun rising later and setting earlier we are well on our way into winter. This does mean yet another adjustment to our scheduled safari [...]
After petering out, the storm that is the Avoca males once again seems to be brewing. The three young lions were found in the south of Djuma early in the week making their boldest and biggest movement into the heart of the Birmingham males’ territory. After spending their Saturday lounging around they headed back [...]
Life in the Mara is a beautiful ebb and flow between belief and disbelief. On some days, I believe that I have completely come to terms with the exquisite beauty of the expanse. Yet on others, I step outside my tent just as the first tendrils of orange are seeping into the sky and [...]
This week has been rather quiet on the cat front especially during the first few days where it seemed as if all the cats had disappeared off the reserve.

The roar of the lion, as the name implies, has not been heard for some time, with both the Birmingham Boys and the Avoca males attending to business elsewhere. The Nkuhuma Pride, however, moved into Djuma from the west. The prides numbers still remain one [...]
