Wild Side African Safaris Ltd

Today is World Environment Day, and while we should not just look after our environment for just one day, it is a good way to focus on what is important. And the most important question that we need to ask ourselves is this - What do we want to pass on to our children and future generations? Cleaner air and beautiful scenes like these or masks from the day that they are born? The decision is in our hands.... ❤️

This is Bahati's adorable son, super confident whilst running within the cover of bushes, but extremely nervous when out in the open. As we celebrate World Wildlife Day, we need to remember that it is up to us to make sure that the next generation can see these beautiful animals in the wild. If we don't act now, we could loose these beautiful creatures forever.... ❤️🐾

Its a new year try something new they said, if it scares you then you should do it they said..... well after a LOT of debating on whether I should go on a balloon safari or not, not because I am scared of heights but because I was worried how would I enter or exit that damn basket (yes...that was my real concern 😂), I finally did it! And what an amazing experience it was made special by sharing it with my brother, sister and a wonderful group of guests - who may I point out encouraged or should I say literally pushed me to get on the flight lol. If you've not done it, this should definitely be something on your bucket list 😊❤️

Is it just me or did 2022 just fly by? Looking forward to more adventures in the new year.... Thank you all for your support 🥰🐾

It's been a while since I last posted some pictures, and in all fairness things have been super busy on my end. But every chance I get, I do try and get away from the city and back into nature for some much needed recharging.

Sunrise and sunsets have always been my favorite time of the day and you can get some truly amazing sceneries with spectacular colors in the sky. Here are a few of pictures from Amboseli taken back in May this year.

Never underestimate the healing power of nature, the peace and calm will help heal your soul... 🐘❤️

"Understand the worth of Earth, treat it with care, and give it the love it deserves..."

We have one planet, let's work together to look after it. Happy Earth Day🐘🌍❤️

Looking forward to some positive changes and hopefully many more adventures in the coming year... Happy New Year 🎉❤

Thank you all for your support 🙏🏼❤️🐾

Courage is taking a stand when nobody else will stand with you.... ❤🐾

Be patient and trust your journey.... ❤

Overwhelming love for Mum... 🥰🐾

Happy Diwali! 🥰

A collection of some of my favorite shots taken at the Lentorre Lodge hide. If you have the patience to sit in the hide (all night if possible), it will always pay off 😊 Looking for a different safari experience? Then this is definitely a place to visit... ❤🐾

Photos taken with a Nikon D7200...yes it is possible to get some decent shots with this camera as well 😉😂

Jilime.... descending from the tree where Luluka had stashed an impala kill. From here, a bit of grooming, and on to play time with mum Luluka. My first time seeing the interaction between this mother and daughter pair and what an absolute joy it was ❤🐾

When you're at the Lentorre Lodge hide on a photo workshop with Jeffrey Wu, and you have nothing better to do while you wait for the animals to come in for their night cap...you shoot insects with Yun Wang 😂😂 and what a lot of fun we had with these!

Shot with a Nikon D7200, ISO 25600, f 6.3, 1/50...and edited using Topaz 😊❤

Simple and yet so beautiful... ❤

A relatively shy bird, the White-Browed Coucal tends to hide under shrubs, in the undergrowth and in dense water vegetation. They are not known for their flying and will go into hiding instead in a clumsy or awkward manner. Ever heard them sing? The perfect description I found for their singing is that it sounds like water pouring from a bottle... 😃❤

Today we said goodbye to a legend, a lion with a warrior's spirit, a favorite of so many photographers, and one of the many reasons why people traveled to Mara. Scarface died peacefully today aged 13 years....and as devastated as I am over his loss I am happy he got to live his life to the fullest. He will be missed dearly...

Fly with the angels....you will always be my favorite ❤🐾

Sometimes you just need a break, in a beautiful place, Alone. And nature provides this for us. Time slows down here, beauty surrounds you, there's harmony and balance everywhere you look. Doesn't matter where you come from, you surrender your need for control, the freedom in itself a relief, and once the noise fades away, maybe just maybe you can start finding your way back to yourself, understanding that there is nothing wrong with you, and you can begin remembering who you truly are. Nature always heals... ❤🐘

My first time spotting this beauty, a Hottentot Teal Duck. What an amazing color bill it has!

Only one word comes to mind when I remember this scene....Serenity... ❤

Taking a walk on the wild side... ❤🐾

As wise and as old as time... nature's greatest gift to mankind... ❤️🐘

Celebrating my favorite of all the big cats...Happy Leopard Day everyone 🤗❤️🐾

Innocent soul.... ❤🐾

When you bite off more than you can chew.... 😁❤

The silent killer.... ❤🐾

Watching fiery African sunsets is one of the best ways to end your day... 🙂❤

Serene, peaceful, healing....some of the words that come to mind when you sit back and watch a scene like this unfold before your eyes...truly magical ❤

Bateleur Eagles, true birds of prey, are one of the most stunning birds you will see on safari in Kenya. This medium-sized eagle is a colorful species and has earned its title as one of the most majestic of African eagles. The graceful birds are a wonder to watch especially in flight. Their wings are exceptionally long and their wingspan can grow to be 1.86 meters. Acrobatic displays and rocking inflight are typical of the bateleur, living up to its name which means an acrobat or juggler in French... 😊❤
