• A morning game drive in Masai Mara

    30. august 2023, Kenya ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    During our morning game drive, we saw:

    • Wild dogs – these creatures are incredibly rare, so we were lucky to see several during our time in the Masai Mara
    • Lots of buffalo, many of them with oxpeckers on their backs
    • Thousands of zebra
    • Hundreds of topi, including one with only one horn
    • Herds of wildebeest
    • About a dozen spotted hyena – Markson said he had never seen so many out and about in the daytime
    • Lots of gazelles and antelopes
    • A male lion walking through the bush
    • African fish eagles
    • Ostriches
    • Warthogs
    • A large herd of elephants – I took a video of two of them drinking in a stream
    • A female giraffe and her baby eating
    • Large buffalo (close up)
    • Tractors collecting balloon baskets
    • A grey heron
    • Thompson’s gazelles
    • Hundreds of anthills – smaller and rounder than termite mounds
    • A pair of hammerkopf
