Day Or Night, Leopard's Roam Freely In Masai Mara

Undoubtedly, the leopard is one of the most secretive and successful of all the predators you will find on Safari in Kenya. In most of the Kenyan national parks, having a close and clear encounter with this spectacular big cat is a true blessing sent directly from the heavens. 

Tsavo West National Park in the southern circuit of Kenya, is well known for its leopard sightings and they usually grace the photographer with a few good minutes during dawn or dusk game drives before they wander along on their way.
The leopards of Masai Mara on the other hand seem to be of a different breed altogether. Breaking their self imposed species code, Mara leopards can be spotted roaming the plains freely or resting up a tree right by the road side at any odd hour of the day. Their remarkable level of comfort and self confidence makes the Masai Mara a real treat for both wildlife photographers and holiday makers alike. Looking at our own wildlife statistics for maasai mara safaris in 2014-15, we have averaged a cool 70% success rate in spotting them!

Wild Animals Pooping

When nature calls how do different animals handle their business, every animal poops differently. A couple of videos of some wildlife going to the bathroom when nature calls. Every species had different shapes and sizes of stools which can also be used to identify them like you do with tracks in the sand. #wildlife #animals #wildkenyasafaris Watch Wildlife Videos on YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/shazaadkasmani I Edit Wildlife Photos On Luminar: https://macphun.evyy.net/KWVna Buy Wildlife Photography Gear: https://www.amazon.com/shop/shazaadkasmani Get your Wildlife Photography Shirt: https://teespring.com/stores/shazaadkasmani Signup for Photography Tips: https://www.patreon.com/shazaadkasmani Book a Wildlife Safari: https://www.wildkenyasafaris.com

The Unique Looking Guitar Fish

Guitar Fish resting on the sea bed One of the most interesting characteristics about the guitar fish is its unique body shape. It seemingly looks like a cross between a shark and a ray - with its flattened ray like head yet it has a long shark like body with dorsal fins - but this fish is actually a classification of its own and has about 50 subspecies.  The guitar fish prefers to remain tranquil on the sea bed, partly covering itself with sand to camouflage itself for any unsuspecting prey such as crabs or small fish that may come past it. Reaching sizes of approximately two meters in length, they are quite docile so can easily be approached by underwater photographers.
