As the old saying goes... still waters run deep. 

The month has been particularly busy for us with our valued repeat guests enjoying their safaris. Hence, there has been a few gaps of silence on our timeline in regards to updating the Wild Kenya Safaris blog.

With a parallel project running, our safari team has nevertheless been out in the game parks doing what we love best. All our safaris from January to date have been simply spectacular!

This year has also been particularly exciting as the Wild Kenya Safaris team has been working closely with wildlife filmmakers to bring you some of the latest nature documentaries to hit your TV screens. Its been great fun sharing our experiences and expertise with them as we are out in the field in search of some very special wildlife moments with the crews. We are proud to be part of the process that will soon be bringing you, some of those awe inspiring nature films we all love to watch so much!

 Stay Tuned!

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.

A lion’s tongue is no less different in design to that of a house cats, with the exception that its sheer size and heaviness would make a lions tongue as rough and harsh as sandpaper! But why is the lions tongue so rough and how is this beneficial? The reason for its roughness is that the surface of the lions tongue is covered in many tiny spines called papillae, which are further divided into 3 types namely; Filiform, Fungiform and Vallate papillae. The cats filiform papillae which is located on the tongues dorsal surface, is the main reason for the roughness, and these can also be compared to barbs since they face backwards in the direction of the throat.  Having a barbed tongue is beneficial to the lion for a number of reasons.
