Similar to last year, September has seen increased Wildebeest movement around The Mara resulting in some spectacular sightings and behaviour around The Mara River and the various crossing points. There have also been some great photos taken by many of the guests in camp.

30th August 2007
Kate Jackson watches a leopard meander along the banks of The Talek, meanwhile Gerard and Charlie see a group of Elephant and Buffalo on his short drive from his family camp. Once they arrive for breakfast at the mess a Rhino is spotted on the horizon opposite the mess ! Four of “The Big Five” seen within the space of ten minutes all from the camp !

6th September 2007
The Sobel family who were being guided by Jimmy see a large Wildebeest crossing where one crocodile kills five wildebeest !!

8th September 2007
The Michaelides party go on a short game drive before breakfast before they depart – they see Caracal and Serval !

9th September 2007
Ken Carl and his travelling companions witness a cheetah mother catch a baby Thompson’s gazelle. She then releases it to train the cubs. A short while later she is seen making another kill – more to the benefit of herself on the second occasion.

13th September 2007
The Jacobs group see a large Wildebeest crossing with no less than six lion kills

14th September 2007
Repeat guest Paul Beastall with his mother Jenny have one of the rarest sightings of the season courtesy of Jimmy – a pair of Servals with 3 kittens in the Rhino Ridge area.

17th September 2007
Tom and Gregoria Long from Hawaii are having breakfast in camp and whilst admiring the view down the Talek are lucky enough to see a lioness cross the rocks in the beautiful morning sunlight.

29th September 2007
Visitors from Mexico City – Carlos and Tere Bracho go on an evening game drive with Dickson and see a lone Hyena successfully hunt a wildebeest. A short while later, moments after the departure of the hyena, would you believe a leopard appeared on the scene to scavenge some remains ! Quite a role reversal.

As mentioned, September has provided some fantastic photographic opportunities – here are a few more choice picks.

Rekero Camp Newsletter – August 2007

13th July 2007
Jack Cohn and his travel companions eventually find the Rongai Pride of lions. Initially the hungry cats hunt a porcupine of all things, only to eventually think better of it and give up. They subsequently kill a warthog.

29th July 2007
The Bradshaw family have an interesting hippo sighting when they see a 3 week old baby chase off 4 large crocodiles !

31st July 2007
A leopard is seen bounding over the rocks in the River Talek at lunch time. It then went to ground in the bushes on the camp-side of the river awaiting the next unlucky Impala.

1st & 2nd August 2007
The Diwan family from Switzerland are lucky enough to have 5 leopard sightings in 2 days !

3rd August 2007
James Sengeny and his guests find a dead Rhino in a pool by the Rongai River. The message is immediately passed to KWS Rangers who come to the scene. After the rangers dredged the pool everyone is relieved to hear that this would appear to be a natural death and the horn is intact – there is no suspicion that anything untoward happened to the animal other than it’s unfortunate demise.

4th August 2007
Two Cheetah brothers cross The Talek river in camp. Their behaviour is interesting to watch as it is almost as if they are stalking something along the river bank despite the fact that there does not appear to be anything for them to target. They make it to the other side successfully.

5th August 2007
The first herds of the Wildebeest migration arrived opposite camp. They all crossed the river up near the hippo pod that is visible from the Mess Tent area.

6th August 2007
A Zebra comes down to drink at the edge of the river when a large crocodile takes it’s chance and drags it in ! This is the first time we have a recorded sighting of a large croc taking a substantial meal in this way in camp. The only other time anyone has seen something like that was a baboon that was killed by a croc.

7th August 2007
After dinner Rob hear’s a lot of commotion from Hyena up river. Guests and Rob go to investigate and shining a torch up river does not reveal any Hyena, but a large male lion with a black mane taking a drink.

8th August 2007
Many time repeat guest Bruce Robison and his fellow travellers embark on a morning game drive and witness a hyena killing a Tommy as well as 3 cheetah brothers killing a wildebeest.

12th August 2007
Lisa Omalanz and The Marks Family with their guide Daniel, find a Leopard over in The Rongai area – It has had it’s wildebeest kill stolen and subsequently been “treed” by the lions who stole it ! They then watch the lions feed and play for about 2 hours whilst the disgruntled leopard looks on !

14th August 2007
The Wildebeest activity around camp increases – Gerard and Rainee are able to watch the migration from their tent as hoards thunder past in the morning ! Another Croc kill is seen from the breakfast table in camp when an enormous one snatches a fully grown wildebeest. The crossing that was taking place is brought to an abrupt halt !!

We are hoping to report more Wildebeest action in the September news letter. Until then,

Rekero Camp News Letter July 2007

Quite a diary of game viewing in the last month – so best get into it straight away !

12th June 2007
During lunch a cheetah is sighted from the lunch table approaching the river. The Talek is still high at this point but the cheetah is intent on getting over the other side where a herd of Thompson’s Gazelle are happily grazing. Initially it takes the plunge and swims more than half way, only to decide that it doesn’t fancy going any further, so swims back to where it started ! After a further 10 minutes of pussy footing around it eventually crosses at a spot perceived to be less treacherous, making it safely to the other side.

13th June 2007
John Kaelo is guiding John and Dianne Brock and their grand daughter Jessie. They witness some unusual behaviour from crowned cranes chasing hyena cubs followed by a young elephant suckling from two different female adults.

18th June 2007
At tea time two adult male Giraffe cross Talek. On this occasion they are relatively close to the audience presenting a great photo opportunity for John Baccich who was in camp with his family. The Baccich’s are lucky enough to see 3 cheetah brothers that appear to have taken up residence on the plain opposite camp.

19th June 2007
James Sengen, guiding Cheryl Clark, finds a leopard cub in a tree by the Mara river in The Paradise Plain. It seems that the mother of the cub has made a sharp exit upon sighting the vehicle.

21st June 2007
Carole and Edd Stepp and Maryann and Jim McCafferty arrive in camp. Carole is lucky to see a leopard (probably Bella) opposite tent 6. The following morning they decide to have a relaxing morning in camp watching the bird life. However, that afternoon, they have a pretty successful outing with Daniel Sopia. Daniel spies a speck on the horizon which turns out to be a Rhino. It eventually transpires that there are three Rhino. This is a female with a calf and a male trying to have his way with the female. On the same game drive they see the three cheetah brothers followed by a leopard out in the open enjoying the evening sun on a termite hill.

25th June 2007
Salaash travels up to Rekero Kidogo with other staff members and finds a cheetah with 4 cubs. They kill an impala right in front of the vehicle !

26th June 2007
Karen Schmidt and Nancy Phillips are being guided by James. They come across a bit of a commotion at the top of a tree, where two Secretary Birds are extremely alarmed. Karen is quick to react with the camera. Upon close inspection of her handy work she finds that she has captured an amazing photo of an unwelcome spitting cobra invading their nest !!

28th June 2007
The Nunn family from the Sheffield area of England are amazed when they witness the cheeky behaviour of a jackal resulting in the hyena it is irritating killing the jackal !! This happens just outside camp.

2nd and 3rd July 2007
The 3 young cheetah brothers are sighted from camp on the horizon.

7th July 2007
A cheetah spends most of the day on an ant hill just outside camp – clearly visible from the car park at the back of the mess tent.

The 3 cheetah are witnessed making a kill (Thompson’s gazelle) opposite camp as well as Daniel Sopia finding a second Caracal in as many days..

One of the many Leopard seen this last month – there have been almost daily sightings. Photo : John Baccich

By the way, we still think Bella has cubs near-by, but we have yet to have conclusive proof – i.e. a sighting of both together…. We’ll keep you updated !

Rekero Camp Opening Season News Letter – June 2007

Camp opened on Monday 4th June 2007 for the new season. I’m sure you won’t be surprised to hear that there has already been plenty of exciting game viewing taking place. This started even before any guests had arrived. On Monday 28th May two leopards were seen on the plain opposite the first three tents. One leopard was in a tree surrounded by a croton thicket, whilst below a rather frustrated large male leopard circled around. We believe the leopard in the tree was Bella. This was all witnessed by most of the staff in camp in the morning sunshine at 10am. Later that day Bella was seen relaxing on the branch of a perfect “leopard tree” opposite tent one. She seemed very relaxed as she slowly climbed down and meandered along the banks of The Talek towards the crossing points and out of view. This wasn’t to be the last sighting of Bella in this first week of the season.

The first game drive even proved eventful. Repeat guests Terry and Gayle Davidson from Nairobi along with Atlanta based Ginny Nickoloff and Bob Fischer were all lucky enough to come across two male lions who are part of The Rongai pride. One of them has been nicknamed “Ben” on account of his bent front right paw ! These two lions were seen to drag a warthog out from it’s less-than-secure hiding hole for their early evening meal. A short while later a Cheetah was spotted not far away and proved to be a popular spectacle during sundowners.

A couple of days later and Bella was sighted again on the opposite side of the Talek whilst the Flynn family from Colorado were out on a game drive with Dickson. Speculation has now grown that Bella perhaps has some cubs fairly close to camp. On Sunday 10th June 2007 Daniel and Risa sighted her again whilst out with Jimmy and Mags Brooks. Daniel seems fairly certain there might be cubs in concealed near the crossing that is used to ford the Talek. We’ll await further updates. Not only did Jimmy and Mags get a great view of this popular leopard, but on the same game drive they saw a Rhino, Cheetah and to top it off a Serval as they made their way back into camp.

Let’s hope that this sort of game viewing augurs well for the rest of the season. Watch this space !

The other exciting news is that Gerard and Rainee now have a new addition to the family – Sam, born on Friday 25th May weighing 9lb 6oz. Very many congratulations to them.

Rekero Kidogo Close of Season
News Letter

We have had a very successful season regardless of a lot of rain in the Masai Mara. The wildlife viewing in The Olare Orok Conservancy has been excellent.

One of the memorable experiences that our guests and guides have had was a pride of lion eating a crocodile, an extremely unusual thing to see. These sort of sighting really keep your interest and enthusiasm going, you just never know what you’re going to see next !

You may recall in an earlier newsletter we reported there was a cheetah in the area with 6 cubs. After that sighting in late October 2006 the cheetah wasn’t to be seen again until just this last week when Fred found them again with his guests – Rekero regulars – Annick and Gerard Frejaville. Unfortunately one of the 6 appears to have died as only 5 were seen by The Frejavilles. You will see from the photos that they appear to be growing well and thriving against the odds. They were seen near the Koyaki guiding school, which is an area relatively free from vehicles.

Some of our local elephant have been putting on a show, mating around the camp. Lenkoko has been the dominant bull around here for some time, but now a few other bulls have joined in. We will be expecting a fair few little elies around camp in about 22 months !

We also had a sad moment when a Giraffe had a small calf taken by Lions. She defended it successfully initially but couldn’t sustain the protection. The mother stayed there for four days hoping that the calf would follow. A clan of hyena discovered the remains and also tried to attack the mother giraffe. She tried to stand her ground for about 8 hours, but eventually capitulated and fled.

As we close the rain has stopped and we have beautiful clear skies – day and night. On an evening we continue to observe the stars and planets. We have even had the opportunity to see the rings of Saturn and moons of Jupiter with the telescope.

Thank you to all of you who have visited Rekero Kidogo. We have good memories of you all and hope to meet you again in coming seasons.

Rekero Kidogo News Letter
February 2007

We have now opened the conservancy after a short period of heavy rains in the Mara. Lots of flooding has seen a few camps washed away, luckily at Kidogo we are not near any of the big rivers.

Last week was the most memorable and exciting time of my life. I got a request from some of our repeat guests from the UK saying that they would like to come for a cup of tea. As I was serving the tea that afternoon they presented me with a powerful beautiful telescope!

This really is a dream come true for me and something tells me I might be getting slightly less sleep every night.

Thank you to Alistair and Gillie Mathers and David and Mary Bishop – we are all having fun around the camp fire looking at the craters of the moon and rings of Saturn.

It is a most beautiful time here with lots of flowers and butterflies in abundance. Without mentioning the colourful birds in their full plumage.

There are a lot of birds breeding in and around camp at the minute. One of which has built a nest in one of the Acacia trees in front of the mess – A Northern Brubru.

Today was an exciting day with John and Risa on a morning game drive coming across our O.O.C big pride of lions near the Quarry Lugga. It is good to see that the cubs have survived the long rains and the roaring lugga in the floods. Six of the twelve cubs were there and one of the females was mating. This does mean that some of the cubs have died, although the cause is unknown as the males that run this pride are definitely in full control.

Lenkoko the elephant has returned after a long honeymoon with a friend. He is a regular visitor to the waterhole near camp, what a pleasure it is to see him so regularly.

Other animals in abundance in the conservancy are Bat Eared Foxes, Mongoose, Black Backed Jackals, the lesser Galago (Bushbaby), Maasai Giraffe, Topi and all other herbivores.

Risa, one of our spotters, brought news the other day that the Cheetah with 6 cubs had been spotted by a Masai Cattle herder on the eastern boundry of the conservancy eating a Thompson’s Gazelle.

It has been great to have exclusive use of this conservancy without other vehicles in sight.

Kidogo News Letter Sept/Oct 2006

We’ve had a fair bit of rain in the afternoons over the last couple of weeks and the area is looking lovely and green again. The wildebeest, who were here a month or so ago, have returned in the last few days and the continuous grunting noise is present once more. There’s something quite soothing about it and the plains look magnificent with the ribbons of animals stretching out for miles.

After one rain storm a Ker and Downey group, led my Tim Malaise, went down to the quarry luga, where they came across Lenkoko, the huge bull elephan,t and some of his family having a wonderful mud bath. They were literally throwing themselves into it, burying their tusks in and rolling about. Tim said it was one of the most special elephant sightings he’s ever seen -which is something for an experienced guide to say. As the group were enjoying the elephants, the two dominant male Conservancy lions emerged from the bushes and began playing with the elephants. This was a sight in its self, but they then began stalking the vehicles as the dark approached and the guests returned in spirits which echoed that of the animals after the rains.

The guides have done exceptionally well recently. Here are some of the highlights:

Jimmy saw an aardvark on his way home with the spot light- the first we’ve seen in the area and more remarkably the first for Rekero in 10 years.

John set off in a different direction the following evening with the Rudaizky group from South Africa , and found an aardwolf with her cub. This is the second aardwolf sighting since Kidogo opened and really goes to show how much can be spotted after dark, something which isn’t possible in the Reserve.

Jackson wasn’t to be outdone and was rewarded with a leap of three leopards, which he watched with his guests for an amazing five hours! This has been a great reward for our most senior and experienced guide. Yesterday he also saw a caracal with two cubs on Kerepuut Luga, just next to Kidogo. All pretty remarkable things and we’re really pleased that our guests have had the opportunity to see such rare sights.

For those who love walking and a bit of adventure we’ve had some fantastic expeditions up and down the Emotoroki (meaning Egyptian goose in Maa) gorge, just north of the camp. It really is a wonderful place; with wild flowers, deep pools and bird song all around. Today we came across a troupe of vervet monkies, making a terrible commotion as there was a leopard near by and we came back to a well- deserved brunch and delicious bloody marys.

All of this would not have been possible without the hard work of the whole Conservancy team, and they must feel justly rewarded for their efforts when they hear of the excellent game viewing we’ve been experiencing in the area. The pride of 11 are becoming habituated, as are the other animals and there are so many other activities on offer that we feel Kidogo and this Conservancy is the way forward for conservation and tourism in Kenya.

Rekero Camp Close of Season Newsletter
March 2007

Those of you who have been following the newsletters will be aware that the heavens have sent us some testing weather conditions over the course of the last season – the photos above are testament to that! I might add that Dickson made it across ok and that Henry’s car was quickly pulled out courtesy of the Governor’s Camp Tractor.

We are now in the last two weeks of the season and the camp is slowly being packed up. Everyone is getting ready for a well-deserved break to recharge the batteries for the start of business in June and the arrival of the Wildebeest.

Game viewing has continued to prove interesting. The Lions are still quite hungry due to the scarcity of food. A few male youngsters have been spending a lot of time just outside camp in search of Warthog. On Mon 19th March – newly weds – Deborah and Daniel Tate watched a lioness persevere with a Warthog hiding in a hole until eventually the Lioness got her hard fought meal.

On Tues 20th March 3 Giraffe serenely walked across the plain opposite the breakfast table in camp. Departing guests – Sandy Meyers, her sister Lynn Trathen and Nephew Peter were then lucky enough to see all 3 cross The Talek river in camp. This is one of the less frequent sights to be seen at Rekero and was a real treat to witness.

For those of you interested in the bird life two Saddle Bill Storks were spotted on a game drive with Jimmy. The pair were pretty pleased with life as they waded around in a marshy spot gorging themselves on the frogs and insects that were in abundance.

We look forward to seeing those of you who are planning to visit next season and can’t wait to see what spectacular events The Mara has in store in the coming months.

Michael and Julia Parker with their friends Nick and Louise and Simon and Lou have quite an eventful day. They first see a Leopard in the morning and the Rhino pictured above with a striking horn – this Rhino had rarely been seen by anyone game driving from Rekero.
Whilst sat around the fire before dinner that evening there is a crash of rocks tumbling into the river. Everyone goes to investigate and finds two male hippos locked in battle in the moonlight on the opposite bank of the river. They are observed for the next few minutes crashing around on the bank and in the river, until one decides to submit ! At about midnight a chorus of lions roaring about 100m down river is heard. Julia, Gerard and Rob are then able to observe through binoculars the silhouettes of 3 lioness answering the calls of the pride and crossing The Talek in the moonlight.

In the early hours of the morning the eclipse of the moon is clearly visible in a cloudless Mara sky.

Wednesday 7th March

Lions are starting to find it difficult to find prey in the long grass. In addition to this, most of the plains game are in great condition due to the plentiful grass. Consequently the Lions are now starting to hunt buffalo – the first kill we have knowledge of in camp happens right behind Gerard and Rainee’s camp – providing a choir of Hyena calls during the next two nights !

Thursday 8th March

Photo : Di Melesi

Dickson and Olologero find a pride of 9 lions in the Double Crossing area that have been known to be very hungry for the past week or so. Di Malaise and her guests – Teri, Elizabeth and Jan are lucky enough to watch the drama unfold as the hungry lions prowl around in search of prey. The pride stumble upon a lame buffalo and take their chance immediately. James Sengen then arrived on scene with his guests Natasha and David and Julia and Keith Robson. Everyone watches as the buffalo is brought down into a water filled lugga. The lions then feast for the rest of the day, this meal will keep them going for at least a week.

More news to follow before the end of the season.

Rekero Camp News Flash – February 2007

Firstly the rains seem to have stopped ! We are having beautiful dry hot days and plentiful game viewing in all areas of the Mara – which we can now get to since the rivers have dropped. More on the game viewing will follow in the next newsletter.

Amongst a lot of interesting sightings was the one reflected in the photos below :

These photos are part of a sequence taken by Gerard and Annick Frejaville who have been staying at Rekero Camp and Rekero Kidogo for the last week. They came across this Python in the area south of The Talek boardered by The Rongai. It was just in the process of killing a Dik Dik. They then watched in fascination with their guide – Fred – as the Python slowly consumed the Dik Dik over a period of 90 minutes! Python’s can go for up to a year without a meal and are difficult to spot at the best of times, so this was a really amazing sighting.

More news will follow at the end of the month

The last month has seen some extraordinary game viewing and animal behaviour around Rekero Camp. Here are a selection of some of the observations that have been made :

Thursday 11th January 2007

The Talek river remains higher than normal. Consequently there are 3 Rhino that are being seen regularly around camp. This is fairly unusual as their normal territory is south of camp by look out hill. However, it would appear that the high river is preventing them from making their way back to their familiar home range. Clients are treated to the unusual spectacle of some cheeky adolescent male lions chasing the Rhinos in the general direction of Rhino Ridge !

Saturday 13th January 2007

Leopard, Cheetah and two lions are spotted within 30 minutes in the morning opposite the mess ! There is also a kill in front of tent 6 where regular guests Alistair and Gillie Mathers are staying.

Wednesday 17th January 2007

Salaash Morompi guiding German guests, Ulla and Gurtie, see lions relaxing up a tree over near The Rongai River. A leopard is spotted walking up stream on the banks of The Talek opposite the breakfast table in the early morning sunlight.

Saturday 27th January 2007

First time visitors Kris and Ian Stowers are lucky enough to have at least 45 minutes observing the leopard known locally as “Zawadi”. Some of you may be familiar with her television name – Shadow. She is seen eating a Thomson’s gazelle in a tree close to Musiara gate. She then climbs down the tree and slowly walks about ½ mile to a wooded copse where she goes off into solitude. Kris and Ian are also lucky enough to see more lions in a fig tree over by The Rongai as well as two different Rhinos, completing the Big Five in one day.

Sunday 28th January 2007

A cheetah killing and Impala is witnessed over by The Rongai as well as the familiar lions in the tree !

At breakfast some guests are waxing lyrical about their sightings. They mention the fact that the only thing they haven’t yet seen is a leopard. Almost on cue, a leopard (possibly Bella) is seen moving down to the water’s edge, jumping in and swimming across to the camp side of the river !

Thursday 1st February 2007

Whilst staying at Acacia House at Rekero Homes, Rob and his parents are lucky enough to have a rare clear sighting of a Narina Trogon, a beautiful bird that is uncommon in forested areas.

Photo : Rob Stowers

Monday 5th February 2007

Lions are witnessed swimming The Mara River by Robert and Sue Tompkins. Two leopard sightings occur in one day – Bella being one of them.

Tuesday 6th February

Guest – Tammy Casserly from Boston, in the company of Henry Sadera, has the first sighting of a Serval this year. This is particularly good as the long grass presents a real challenge to see cats this elusive and small. Tammy is also witness to the rather gruesome sight of a baboon killing a small Impala.

As it can be seen there have been some incredible game viewing opportunities over the last month. We look forward to more in the months leading to the end of the season.

Salaams from us all.

Rekero Camp January Newsflash

photo: Rob Stowers

Since the opening of the season in December you will be aware that we have had rather a lot of rain. This now seems to have subsided. One of the consequences of such vast quantities of water in the rivers is the depositing of silt and sand along the banks. This means that some of our regular crossing points end up blocked. On Thursday 25th January a team was dispatched to clear the crossing we use on the Talek River, only a few minutes from camp. After a long day's work moving tonnes of sand the team were rewarded by being able to cross the river. Not only that, but the first animal seen was a beautiful female leopard relaxing in a lone tree just up the hill from the crossing. She was totally unphased by the presence of the two Rekero vehicles who were treated to a very special sighting at close range. Guests present included Wanda and Tim Dixon (2nd time visitors to Rekero) and Ian and Kristine Stowers, who were visiting for the first time. The afternoon was drawn to a conclusion with a few sundowners whilst the Leopard gazed into the setting sun.

More Rekero News will follow very soon.

Salaams from all at Rekero.

Rekero Camp News – January 2007

A very busy off-season has seen one or two changes in camp. All tents now have 24 hr electric lighting through an inverter system powered by solar energy. We are also pleased to announce that we have a brand new bespoke Mess Tent. This was erected at the end of November and took 38 people 2 ½ days to put up !

The seasonal rains of November have continued into December, consequently on the 31st December the Talek was the highest anyone can remember seeing it.

Talek after the rains

This hasn’t for one second changed the amazing game sightings that have continued to take place around The Mara. George and Samantha Olenik were lucky enough to see two leopard and two Rhino in one day, only 20 minutes from camp ! We have had more than one recent sighting of Caracal in the area.

On the 12 December, a Black Rhino was sighted next door to the staff camp and then seen by Rob and Jackson (who were on foot in camp) making it’s way east along the camp side of The Talek. This is the first recorded occasion that a Rhino has been seen from Rekero Camp at it’s current location. The wild dogs appear to be continuing to thrive around Rekero Homes and were recently witnessed killing an Impala behind the workshops. Our community scouts are monitoring the progress of the dogs and we will report anything further as and when the news comes in.

The Mara is so green and the food so plentiful that the wildlife are having a bumper season so far. Consequently many species are giving birth and have been witnessed doing so by guests on game drives. There are numerous Lion cubs in the area which have been sighted on many occasions. The only cat which is proving a little elusive at the moment is Cheetah. A few have been sighted but only a couple weekly rather than the daily sightings we were getting in October.

All the team at Rekero would like to wish everyone all the best for 2007 and we look forward to seeing those of you who are visiting us in the coming months.

Christmas Dinner

Happy Christmas from Jackson !
