Impala – The Perfect Antelope
Impalas are not only beautiful to look at – they have many interesting adaptations and a fascinating breeding system. At your next visit to the Mara, take your time and enjoy watching them for a while!
Strange partners
In nature, there is not only competition between species – sometimes surprising alliances are formed!
By the way
Exciting little things happen day by day in the wild – mainly unnoticed by most visitors in national parks.

Most visitors to the Maasi Mara think of the graceful “Tommies” first and foremost as a good meal for cheetahs. Too bad, you will be missing something…
Lair litters
One thing is for sure: Visitors to African National Parks like nothing more than cute little cheetahs, the smaller the better. But please: Don’t press too hard on their lairs, it might be deadly for them.
