Elephant calling the herd. Photo by Shazaad Kasmani Whilst on your safari, an animal behavior that is quite rarely seen could suddenly present itself for an incredibly unique wildlife photograph.  During one of our Tanzania Safari itineraries, a giant bull elephant sat down and made a boisterous call that resonated like thunder across the entire Tarangire National Park. Unlike anything ever seen before, it seemed to be calling all elephants to perhaps come together.  Capturing unusual moments such as these in natural history are quite rare but that's what makes wildlife photography extremely rewarding

The Shimba Support Group which is a conservation organization chaired by Shazaad Kasmani of Wild Kenya Safaris, organised a tree planting day in the Shimba Hills National Reserve together with Kenya Wildlife Service.  About 30 SSG members came together for this great noble cause and everyone who participated helped to make the activity alot of fun. Over 150 indigenous tree saplings were planted at the Governors Campsite which is located in the heart of the park.  The Campsite which is located near Buffalo Ridge, offers a nice secluded spot for experienced campers and even has a fantastic view of the Ocean and Sable Valley. The new trees will really enhance the visitor experience in the park as well and make alot of animals and birds happy!

Ostrich seen eating stones to aid digestion It is not uncommon for Ostrich to eat small stones and sand to aid with their digestion.  This behavior i s quite well known but has typically not been photographed at all in the Wild.  When we caught these juvenile Ostrich enjoying their strange dessert in Tsavo East, the opportunity to photograph this was perfect. I carefully approached them so as not to disturb their natural routine and with some patience managed to get really close so as to fully capture all the interesting details.

The two lioness take the large buffalo head on. Photo by Shazaad Kasmani It all began one Saturday at a waterhole in Tsavo East. A pride of 7 lions who had made a buffalo kill earlier that morning were comfortably enjoying their meal and in usual fashion, they decided to scatter into the bushes to hide from the morning sun for the rest of the day. Having studied the behavior of lions for a few years now, I knew that the lions would return for water and also finish their meal later on in the evening. We decided to position ourselves atop of a hill and patiently waited with the hopes of catching the sequence from above... as evening came, and as predicted, the lions came out from hiding for a drink... in the distance however a lone buffalo was walking straight into the path of the drinking lions. Unable to see the pride the buffalo kept approaching, but the lions on the other hand spotted their unsuspecting prey and started getting into formation... Two lionesses took ...

Seen during a recent trip to photograph the endangered White Rhinos, a mother and her near 6 month old came face to face with another large rhino. For an instant, it seemed like there would be some discomfort between mama and the visiting rhino who was taking a closer look at her baby. A female White Rhino may not give birth again for up to 5 years so the little one is really her life priority. The outcome of the visit was all well however, a friendly nod from both sides helped to clear the air. Mama Rhino keeping a close eye on her baby
