By Raphael Mollel – A mother cheetah with her cubs and other safari highlights

Greetings from Tanzania. My name is Raphael and I have just finished my safari with my guests David and Margaret from Michigan, USA. It was a very adventurous safari as we spent 10 nights in the bush with 3 nights private camping at Naabi Hill campsite among the wildebeest migration and all the big carnivores. Here are my pictures of just a few of the highlights.

My guests were very excited to see this mother cheetah jump on the bonnet of our vehicle. We ended up having a mother cheetah with her three cubs. It was amazing! This occurred in the Ndutu area of the South Serengeti.

Interesting fact: The amount of light which white strips reflect is equal to the amount which the black stripes absorb!

Here is a Black Rhino in the Ngorongoro Crater marking his territory by using urine.

These two wildebeest are fighting over their territory.

This is a striking picture of mist shrouding the beautiful Rumbe Hills in the Ngorongoro Crater.

This is Oldupai Gorge, which is a famous archaeological site.

It was around small marsh at Ndutu in the South Serengeti / Ngorongoro Conservation Area that this young male lion was walking near the lake and the reflection made for an interesting photograph.

My name is Raphael Mollel. I am a Maasai Warrior and love my culture!

  1. Dave and I would like to thank ADS and especially Raphael for making our safari a dream come true. We are in the process of going through our pictures and will post our testimonial and pictures soon. Thanks again.

    1. Thanks Margaret! We look forward to hearing about your trip highlights and seeing pics. From Rafael’s shots it seems like you had some memorable adventures!
