The future of the Masai Mara game reserve and the continued existence of the abundant game inside it is directly dependent on the Masai communities living around it. The pastoralist Masai community keep herds of cattle, sheep and goats as a pride of wealth and their main source of daily livelihood. They also keep donkeys as beasts of burden. Their large herds of cattle can graze up to some interior parts of the reserve. If no care is taken, this can prove to be a threat to drive away the wild

Be ready to learn a lot of lessons during your participation in one of our regular Kenya safari trips including Masai Mara tours. Wild animals are very humble creatures and quite interesting to watch as they go about their routine chores of looking for food. During these interesting Tanzania adventure and Kenya trips, you will realize that each category of animals have their own way of escaping predators, looking for daily bread, defending and bringing up their young ones, which in turn results

When thinking African wildlife safaris, many agree that one of the most exciting spectacles on earth is the great wildebeest migration that occurs between  Tanzania’s national park and Kenya’s  Masai Mara.  The wildebeest, zebra and antelope make the  constant migration from one end of the wilderness to the other. This movement is driven by their need for pasture and drinking water.  And as the over 1.9 million animals move northwards from the Serengeti into Masai Mara, they are hunted all the t

Planning a safari vacation to Africa?  Well, planning  any vacation to whichever destination, is likely to be stressful if not aggravating.  And if the vacation destination is Africa, it might even be more difficult for those who might not be familiar with the continent.  Thankfully,  there are a growing number of resources to use to plan your Africa  trip.  Ironically though, the availability of these many vacation planning resources can make it even more difficult  to figure out where to star

EcoTraining wilderness camp, Mashatu, Botswana, Thursday 12 January 2012, is a day that will be etched upon my memory forever. I ran out of toothpaste.

Not life changing in itself, I agree, but it was the first in a series of interesting events that day which included having lasagne for supper (my favourite) and being charged by a lion.

Perhaps I should say a bit more about the lion thing. At approximately 06:00 that morning, a small group of us under the expert guidance of Chantelle chanced upon

Australia Zoo was established in 1970 by Robert Irwin, as the ‘Beerwah Reptile and Fauna Park’, on the grounds of a former macadamia nut farm. From an early age, his son, Steve, helped his father with the animals, both looking after them, and rescuing and relocating them.

As most people know, Steve became a familiar face all around the world with his excellent TV series ‘Crocodile Hunter’. Through this programme, viewers became very familiar with Australia Zoo, as it had been renamed. And, of cou

I never thought I would see a blue whale outside of the Smithsonian museum. In fact, I thought they were almost extinct. On January 23, 2012 I saw four pairs of them. Blue Whaleswere not even on my bucket list. When we started doing research on Sri Lanka we found out that about ten years ago, fisherman,and people living on a cliff overlooking the southern tip of Sri Lanka started reporting seeing amazingly large “fish”. Soon, scientists showed up and the “‘fish” turned out to be actually mamals.

Kaziranga National Parkis located in Assam and it is famous as the best home for Great Indian one horned rhinoceros.

Apart from the beautiful landscape you will love to have a company of different wild animals like Elephant, Rhinoceros, Sambar, Indian bison, Tiger, Jackal and many other animals as well as di

Admit it. It is tough to visualize an elephant orphanage.  Visions of elephants in shorts like Oliver Twist asking “please sir may I have another” were short lived in my great expectations, however they were not replaced with anything very clear.

Originally set up by the government to care for abandoned or orphaned elephants it has now turned into a major tourist attraction and seems to be the economic cornerstone of a small village outside of Kandy named Pinnewala.

It has its critics. The critics

The top officials of Uttrakhand forest department sifted the dread tusked elephant loose near the city of Rishikesh to Rajaji National Park. For around two months, there was terror of the tusker in Rishikesh and it had killed many people. In the presence of top executives of forest department the tusker was leaved in the chila range of Rajaji National Park.

Said that the forest officials were planned to leave the Tuskar in Corbett National Park early but suddenly the programe was changed and the

What to do in La Jolla, California? The most popular free activity in the village - especially if you're traveling with kids - is visiting the seals at The Children's Pool. The rope barrier that went up here recently indicates the beginning of the pupping season for the colony of harbor seals who call the cove home.

While the pups aren't usually born until March and April, the rope keeps onlookers at a safe distance from the rookery while the seals are most vulnerable. All onlookers, that is,

An adult tigress was shot dead by Assam Police at Kaziranga National Parkafter it entered into the residential settlement and reportedly attacked people near the Kohara forest range of the national park.

Talking to the media, Chand further discloses that the NTCA had formed the committee to co

Kangaroo Island, or ‘KI’, as it’s known locally, is more noted for what it hasn’t got than for what it has. Unlike mainland Australia, rabbits and foxes were never introduced, so the indigenous wildlife has less competition for survival.

Another thing the island doesn’t have is something a Scottish friend once called ‘The Way of the Island’. There’s no sense of being on an island; in many places, you can climb to a high point and see nothing but ‘bush’ in any direction.

That catches many visitors
