Kokan on a Morning game drive approached the Wood land and saw a big male Giraffe feeding on the Acacia leaves making it look like a tower. His guests got so interested especially in seeing the giraffes long black eyelashes which made it look magnificent and its long prehensile tongue which was constantly sliding between   the prickles feeding so sustainably without breaking the acacia braches.

Giraffes are known to leave for about 25 years and have a gestation period of 15 months. A full grownup male can  weigh to about 1,600kg and have a height of 6m .Adults are not vulnerable to predators but only when  drinking water which they  do once a week.

Bull Elephants are usually not very aggressive and will always avoid human confrontation as much as possible.They will send signal to warn you if  trying to get too close, like flapping their Ears or even trumpeting. They are known to have good memory and can be very temperamental if annoyed causing massive damage.

This has been the case here at the camp with the Bull Elephant which is usually left behind by the Herd and will stay around the camp for almost a week before leaving to join the herd. It will be seen most of the time eating very close to the Guests and Staff tents. A Bull Elephant can eat close to 450 Kg of vegetation a day, forcing it to eat day and night .

Martial eagles are the most powerful birds of prey. They are made for a kill and will easily kill medium sized Birds, Reptiles and Mammals like Rabbit, Rock Hyrax and Small Antelopes.

 Gordon and his guest saw the martial eagle eating its kill near a rock, which happened to be the Rock Hyrax. It started by peeling off the hair and thereafter started enjoying its meal.

Leopards are very difficult to find during the day this is because they Hunt during the Night and sleep during the day .Here in Serengeti National park we have more leopards than cheetah but because of their Nocturnal way of life people end up seeing cheetah more than leopards. They are Solitary cats and hardly do you find over two together unless they are on honeymoon.

Godson while on the game drive came across two leopards together only for them to find they are on their Honeymoon
