Happy to be back in the bush

Our first update from the Masai Mara comes whilst we are sitting by our campfire, listening to the sounds of the bush and smelling our steak dinner cooking. The African sky, as always, seems endless and alight with the most amazing concentration of stars. With just a scrub hare for company and the sound of lions roaring very nearby we are truly happy to be back in the bush!

Our first day has been filled with some lovely sightings, just 10 minutes after entering the reserve Andy spotted a male cheetah, relaxed and sitting on a mound perusing the savannah for what could be next on the dinner menu. Tired from the journey and in need of nourishment ourselves we left the cheetah to continue its path.

The afternoon continued to provide more feline activity, including the cutest little lion cubs up to mischief whilst the mother, a beautiful golden lioness attempted to hunt warthog nearby.

As we finish writing this our friendly hare has vanished...,,,will it be replaced by any other night time visitors perhaps? Hopefully our infrared night time camera will reveal all.......
