Wildlife Heavyweights

Weighing in at an average 600kg the Cape buffalo can be found in virtually all types of grassland habitats in Kenya. From the dry lands of Tsavo to forested ranges of Shimba Hills, the buffalo is one of the toughest of wildlife heavyweights. Its body is immune to the bovine sleeping sickness (nagana) which is transmitted by Tse-Tse Flies, the heard can cooperatively come together to defend its other herd members against its predators and buffalo's are even known to have seriously injured or killed lions during a fight. All in all its one impressive animal!

The Colobus Monkeys Of Diani Beach

Angolan Black And White Colobus Monkey in Diani Beach Kenya A wildlife lover deciding to spend a few days at the Diani Beach coastline will be in for a special photography treat. Its one of the few places in Kenya where one can sight the Angolan Colobus Monkey at close range. They are easily identifiable by their black face, black fur and long locks of white hair that surrounds the face and also hangs off the shoulders. Being arboreal, they generally prefer to stay among the tree branches and canopy's feeding on leaves, fruits and flowers rather than foraging on the ground.
