I love nature and wildlife. One of my dreams is to travel Southern- and East Africa. I want to see the wonders and experience the beauty the rest of Africa hast to offer...

                 Leopard at sunset, Samburu National Park, Kenya. This game reserve is situated in the Northern Province of Kenya.
                 It is rugged and a semi- desert.  The leopard is a frequent       visitor in this park and most evenings it pays a courtesy
                 call to the lodges guests as it       feeds on some bite on a tree across the river.

                Wildebeest are well known for their annual migration to new pastures ( From the Serengeti in Tanzani to the Mara
                National Park in Kenya and back).       Many wildlife documentaries       have featured this event, in which vast numbers of
                wildebeest can be seen crossing rivers,       such as the Mara River and dying in large numbers as they attempt to reach
                the other side,       because many of them are eaten by crocodiles while others simply drown.

                "The human species is driving itself full speed into an evolutionary dead-end. We are destroying the planet and
                everything we do kills animals.  We have lost our moral       compass. We think in terms of profit and power rather
                than ethics & compassion.       We no longer have any reverence for life or any sense of connection with the natural
                      world.  We see ourselves as conquerors of nature rather than citizens of a vast biocommunity.  We are techno-
                logically sophisticated and morally retarded. We have no       conception of the importance of non-human life forms
                in sustaining ecosystems. We       fail to realise that what we do to animals, we do to ourselves."     > Steve Best <

                   Did you know that the cheetah's black "tear marks" which run from the corner of its eyes down the sides of the nose to its
                mouth are there to keep sunlight out of its eyes and to aid in hunting and seeing long distances?
