Marsh pride on 22^nd and 24^th.August.2012.

On 22^nd,we came across Joy one of the marsh pride lioness who she had ran away with her cubs when the pride was taken over by the current dominant males from Romeo and Clawed,near Bilashaka.She was with her two cubs but she was doing something very different from our mums;she was trying to separate herself from them!,for sure she was seen by some guides mating and she was expected to do this.These boys can not be accepted back in the pride because the dominant males are not their dads,and I only saw 2 and did not see the third one.This is their hardest time!

On 24^th,all six of the marsh pride cubs at bilashaka looked great,playing with their two mums,they have been moving both to musiara marsh and Bilashaka and their mums even siena(older mama),are cooperating in bringing up these celebrities who everybody for the last few weeks have been looking for.Long life totos.

Musiara Marsh On 23^rd .August.2012.

This is a known marsh for its abundance of wildlife,alot of herbivores coming for water and greener pastures,the carnivores coming for the herbivores,and it is for the first drive that when we get our clients we take them here and amazes most of them on the amount of game here,at one point you can count more than 10 mammal species,sorrounding you and a lot of birds'species,and at this time of migration this is one of the few places where you can find good number of Elephants.
