White Rhino And Calf At Somalisa Camp

The number of babies about makes very fascinating game viewing. Who ever said that the green season was not prime viewing? The baby boom is on as you see tiny piglet warthogs, large nurseries of impala and wildebeest calves and recently spotted white rhino mother and calf at Nkawasana pan during an all day “safari and picnic”.

It was really special to see the two grazing in the carpet of green grass and with the calf keeping very close to its cautious mother.

Some of the birds (summer visitors) are step eagles and buzzards, European bee eaters, white storks, abdim’s storks, European rollers and many more including all the spectacular birds in full breeding plumage such as all the whydah birds and bishops.

This time of the year is worth experiencing to see the vast difference between October and January. Whilst you might get caught in some pouring rains, it does not last all day and it is warm rain, albeit the bush certainly provides and shows a totally different face – one worth seeing.
