We have been having typical Laikpia weather this month with cloudless
skies, the nights have been frosty and the days sweltering. Most
mornings we have had a heavy mist set over camp just before the sun
comes up and quickly drives it away.
Tea delivered to your tent, with a cheery smile is a great way to
start the morning while we wait for the animals to come out of their
warm hiding places to find a good spot to soak up the morning rays!
With the dry weather the Elephants have been making the most of the
Dam, coming down regularly for their swim. You just can’t get enough of
this incrediblesight.
One evening we came across an elephant swimming over to the island
for his evening sundowners of cherry tomatoes and sweet green grass, he
was having such a great time getting there bobbing up and down in the
water, for some time all we could see of him was the tip of his trunk
before he came splashing up to do a complete tumble turn with his legs
up! Not the most elegant style but lots of fun!
More great sightings of the eastern lion pride, with the new little
family who joined the pride late last year, what fun it is to watch the
family dynamics. The older cubs are certainly not going to let the new
little guys get away with much. No spoilt brats around here and they
certainly do their side of the family discipline.
We have been seeing a new group of five lionesses with a
young male roaming around which is great, maybe they will join up with
the main pride which would make it a pretty large group of hungry cats!
Poor Zebra!!
Back in camp the Bush Babies have discovered the tasty bugs that come
out in the Mess bathroom when the lights are on at night. Cheeky
things don’t mind checking on you while you are there!
Ekorian’s Mugie Camp is a private camp with an exclusive location on the Mugie Sanctuary in North Laikipia, where game and birdlife viewing is prolific. The camp is the family base of Josh and Donna Perrett. The camp is simply designed with a central mess area and six, spacious but cosy tents, each ensuite with hot and cold running water and flush toilets, under thatched roofs with wooden decks.
