Baboon fight or Leopard?
Whilst on a walk in the montane forest of Mount Meru last week a group of guest heard an awful din from up ahead. There was clearly some drama going on! The guide and the ranger had a discussion with the group – the noise was from a number of baboons up ahead – and they were clearly very…
Teeming wildlife in the Serengeti
One of life’s great unknowns …. When will the rains arrive in the Serengeti!!!! If you talk to the old time farmers, they will tell you that you could set your watch by the arrival of the rains, but now climate change or whatever it is now, is totally up in the air and almost impossible to predict.

Everywhere you look new shiny buildings are shooting up and our guide proudly points out another area of shanty…
The Western Breach; rock fall and continuing safety on African Environments preferred route.
The Western Breach route on Kilimanjaro is the most stunning, most direct and least scree covered ascent route on the mountain. It is the only ascent that takes you directly onto the crater floor, next to what little still remains of the beautiful glacial ice, and positions you for the shortest and easiest possible ascent to the inner crater…
Walking in the Southern Plains of the Serengeti National Park

I mean I have been there, I have done days of game viewing down there and seen some incredible scenes when the migration is in residence, wildebeest strewn for mile after mile all making their unique cross between a grunt and a moo.
