Africa: The Migration (7) – Hippos

September 16, 2010 By Guy St. Clair Leave a Comment

Often referred to as “the most characteristic” of Africa’s water animals, the lumbering hippopotamus is truly a wonder to see. Because they tend to stay mostly submerged most of the time (thanks to having their ears, eyes, and nostrils high up on their head) and do their grazing at night, we kind of forget just …

Africa: The Migration (3) – Our Safari and Our First Elephants

How could so many animals know to come together to move about the continent? With …

Masai Mara (14): Sunday Elephant

May 29, 2010 By Guy St. Clair Leave a Comment

Charles and I planned our final game drive for Sunday morning, since the Sekenani Gate, where we had entered the Masai Mara Game Research and from which we would leave, was quite some distance from the Sopa Lodge and it wouldn’t make sense to circle back around. So we decided I would check out of …
