    Masai Mara – Jackal

    The Masai Mara National Park of Kenya does not host only felines. Dogs are also present in the carnivorous fauna of the country. We’ll see some hyenas later on, but here is a jackal encounter. Little fearful dogs, nervous hunters, they are quite difficult to approach.

    The most difficult part of this safari, the leopard was tough to find, nearly impossible to photograph (several days without a single observation before driving more than ten kilometers to find one single animal, but a nice animal indeed!) Leopard

    Masai Mara – Elephants
