honey boys



Dear all 

This time we eat like cheetahs on the move two hrs to homes and on the way try and see more Cats if possible.
10 min after we have wave Good bye to Jono and Dudu some one on the radio we have found the Boys.
Get ready bean bags, tripods, fully charge cameras on the road.
Yes this are honey boys under a balanitis tree in the middle of mara paradise plains all other animals are rested just eat yesterday I reckon.
Since we are under pressure to get to our next destination we are quick like any other departures in the maasai mara. 

This boys still are power of cheetah wold in the mara we have not seen any males in the area to challenge them.
A few other cheetahs like Allana, long, Serena, among other girls have been seen in our area of reach.
A young female is about to give birth at Olkeju rongai near the Simiti crossing, among the news is new cubs have been seen with one of the Ridge pride females near Serena, and three of the females I sow day before members of the Ridge are all very heavy pregnant so a lot of babies are on the way in a week and month.
For those whore coming to mara in november you will have the best time every in the maasai mara the short rains are starting little one every where migration still in the mara it will be fantastic.
We got to move I said to my guest, to the marsh.

As we arrive like always this must be the best place to see wildlife at the same time, the diversity of wild life bird life, tourist etc.

Rakita and I are looking every behavior from cars to animals birds just find lions on trees.
The herd of Buffalos have cornered the pride this is Lisby and her sub adults cubs they have grown so well too.
Bibi in the middle of the mash and Red no where to be seen while white Eye was 600 mt way in save place bless her.
clawed and Romeo were under a tree resting living all the work to the girls great boys just like us some time.
The mash was action after the other this office is the best love it all the way every min and sec I spend our there.


I left them in safe trees and wish them the best of luck as always I cant wait to see them again.

Bless you all 

And have a good day in the office.

Binti in the morning.

Now the pressure is on I have found Olive arriving with this group and her little cubs at what we call smelly crossing so but I left my camera could not give you any photos.
At night I never sleep too much always listening what is going on around me.

Just before my tea arrive 5:45 I had the leopards calling, that is binti and that is olive.
As I had ask for my gust to be waken up at the same time they are not in a hurry to be with me on time.
Fire the engine, off we went min we had cross the Talek towards the east and we sow two lionesses at the same time Binti was on the opposite bank looking at one another.
Where should we look the lions or the leopard the mara have some of best qualities of the game drive in the world.
Two hrs later I am still determine to see olive and her cubs. 
Min of looking for her the fist give way was the cars near smelly crossing I new she was there but I still love to share this experiences to my gust since I fell I am meeting a friend in Maasai mara.

Well I love my office this is all before breakfast and the gust and I will be living to homes our other camp just fab.

See you in a hrs friends

At the conner of the last gnu is lioness after food which was at end success full well done girls.
This pride now have 7 young cubs all looking last when we sow them I new something was going one as the cubs left one of the fathers wadering in the long grass.
We slowly drove to see the two girls on a kill but I said to the gust lets follow that one and get the story, she is going to get the cubs.

Notch little cub.

We are waking up at 6 am and let us meet in the car by 6:30 right.
As we look around fist is the numbers of wildbeest in the mara I thought they have left but when I look over the conservancy Rhino ridge, below look out full to the top, The migration will be late going back to Serengeti.


Min after a long scan we sow 7 of the ridge pride well feed and looking sad I think still thinking one day Dady will be with us Snugle tooth.

I push on to look for the next king Notch but with the number of pictures the Guest are taking I gave up on Notch its self, any one on the pride will make my day i am living the next day to rekero home.
A few min later one of our guids call me on the radio the crossing had started thousand are getting to the river run.

Just in time when I started the car Rakita  Our spotter said to me stop there is a snake over there.

Rongai pride



Another wanderful day in the office this time with Olkeju Rongai pride of 14. 
Its always a challenge when you get up early not knowing what might be a head of your day this is way this office may be one of the few most exiting.

After getting up early with our picnic we such for two hours then we so the pride coming from another unsuccessful hunt.
We took our picnic away while looking what they may be doing all of a sudent we pack quickly the action have started.
Well this time it was just hog-lets one after the other well done girls but not enough for the whole pride.
Over in the distance we can see wildebeest zebras, topi among other animals.


I have always followed this pride very close since its not many people see them.



The guest said after all the action this is better than watching a football much.

I agree with you 

See you later in the evenig drive
