We’ve been extremely fortunate over the past few weeks in terms of wildlife sightings! African wild dogs seem to be everywhere and we have a very pregnant female in a pack of 10 very close to camp. We watched them swim across the great Ewaso Nyiro River a few days ago which was amazing. Could they be denning near our camp…?
We also recently saw an aardwolf in Samburu National Reserve and this was the first time we were able to get a photo. Leopards are also around and we have had a few sightings of a very tame young female leopard in Westgate Conservation Area who sits at the side of the road and pretty much ignores us – very rare for leopards in community areas.
Lions – finally yesterday, we saw Magilani and her 2 cubs in Westgate! I haven’t seen her since August last year and this was really exciting! Below are a few photos of all our recent special sightings.
