One of Samburu’s ‘Special 5’: The Somali Ostrich.
Also known as the blue necked ostrich, these flightless birds can grow to as big as 2.75m tall.
The parents have to remain on high alert as jackals and other predators are always on the lookout for easy prey!

A favourite photo from one of our favourite places in Africa - A cheetah and one of her cubs on the lookout for prey in Samburu National Reserve, Kenya.
Moments after we took this photo the mum chased a Gerenuk - she was so fast but the antelope was somehow able to escape.
The cubs watched on during the unsuccessful hunt and after letting their mum catch her breath, they slowly approached her, giving licks and affection.

This was awesome! A cheetah left her cubs and slowly made her way towards a gerenuk before a chase ensued. The gerenuk managed to get away this time!

A Thomson’s Gazelle fearing a predator is nearby while giving birth. Stressful! 🫨
These beautiful little gazelles are found in big numbers across the Masai Mara and are one of the fastest animals on earth.

We lost track of the number of lions encountered in the Masai Mara. We half expected that but what surprised us was how indifferent they always were to our presence - we’d often find ourselves only a few feet away from them and could see and hear everything. At no point did we feel concerned or threatened and we loved every moment.

One of Africa’s Big 5 - there’s no shortage of buffalo in the Masai Mara. The Oxpecker (bird) not only eats ticks and other parasites but also keeps watch and hisses when the buffalo may be threatened.

An armchair safari view at Karen Blixen Camp in the Masai Mara! More animals than we could count as an endless procession made their way down to the river each day.
Possibly the best lunch view ever 😍

Spending a month in Parlatuvier, Tobago has been a highlight of our time living as nomads. This idyllic village was the perfect spot to soak up local life and explore the diverse and beautiful island of Tobago.
Thanks to @islandgirltourstt for showing us a great time and to all the people of Parlatuvier who made us feel so welcome in their community of 300 people.
Full 15min video is available on YouTube:

Sunrise from our home for the month - Dombeya Game Reserve in the Kingdom of Eswatini.
We were up every day for sunrise and the misty winter mornings were spectacular.

The animal we most hoped to see in Kruger… a majestic leopard!
