Shaba, Buffalo springs and Samburu national reserve have got to be some of the best places to experience an authentic safari and a place to see some of the most amazing wildlife in Africa. My family and I did a 3 night safari which was booked through a good friend of mine - Anthony Muli and Entice Africa Safaris and one thing is for sure, it was worth every penny. We stayed at Sarova Shaba and Entice Africa Safaris took care of all the details which made the safari flawless... A good friend of mine Jonathan Musyoka, guide par excellence was with us on this safari and we knew it's going to be an epic one!
Saturday 26th August we make our way from Sarova shaba and at 7am we drive into Buffalo Springs reserve through Choka gate. The feeling was good and we were optimistic about seeing amazing game. Little did we know that there is on going action minutes from us.
A short drive from the gate, we saw some distressed giraffes and Jonathan our skilled guide knew this was a sign not to take for granted. We stopped and looked around and to the left we say a pride of lions successfully brought down a giraffe. We made our way to the site. The kill was fresh, literally made just minutes from the time we arrived. We we're lucky to be the only ones there for about 15minutes before the second vehicle arrived.
Lions are apex predators and this successful hunt is a reminder of the power and beauty of lions.

Each game drive presented us with amazing game sightings and the experience of not having too many cars around you truly enhances this.
Highly recommend a safari with Entice Africa and Jonathan Musyoka as guide...
Until next time... stay safe!
