An Incredible Big Cat Month

The big cats have certainly made April a month to remember here in the Serengeti. The good soaking rains have ensure that the plains are full of lush green grass and the large herds of zebra, topi, thomsons gazelles and eland, down near Farufaru and Sabora camps, have provided a splendid backdrop for some sensational cat viewing.

The Nayasarori pride of lions showed off their newest arrivals this month… 4 new cubs, spotty and full of life.

A female cheetah and her 4 cubs were seen down at Nayasarori, she has moved onto our concession from the national park.

No fewer than 8 leopard sightings also had us jumping for joy, especially as most of those were a female with a 3 to 4 month old cub!
