Why not join us on the trip of a lifetime to the wonderful Zebra Plains Mara Camp in the Maasai Mara in Kenya. The camp is set below the Oldonyo Loip Ridge looking out on the open plains of the Mara. The ridge is home to many of the big cats and is one of the most important wildlife habitats and migration corridors under protection. Lodge owner, Alfred Korir and his team of mostly Maasai staff will make you feel at home as soon as you arrive. Their standard of service is second to none. So if you fancy setting off on an amazing adventure, look no further. Just take a look at our website here for an amazing deal during June or November 2020.
We were surprised by this guy posing for us , they are usually pretty shy and disappear into the long grass . This was at Nambiti Game Reserve in Kzn ,SA.
This jackal shot a glance at me when exposing from our car and at the same time another Land Cruiser in the opposite side of the road just passed through...bad luck, or...I don't know.
Howling directly into the early morning sun, this opportunist was likely communicating with its pack, possibly having located some food.

The black-backed jackal is a very ancient species which has occupied eastern and southern Africa for at least 2-3 million years. Photographed in Madikwe Game Reserve, South Africa.
Hey guys! Here's a preview of my Jackals! I've never designed my own Jackals before so these were a challenge to make. Since Jackals are smaller than Elites and Brutes, its hard to accommodate their unique legs while maintaining their small stature. This is my first iteration, so I may revisit it in the future, but for now I'm happy with how they look. Let me know what you guys think! Instructions coming soon!
It may not be the best photo of a jackal you've ever seen, but it was the first jackal I've seen in real life! In the Ol Pejeta nature conservancy, Laikipia County, Kenya.

The Black-backed jackal (Canis mesomelas) is one of the African continent’s most adaptable and enduring predators. They have walked the African plains for over 2 million years, making it one of the oldest surviving members of the dog family. Its evolutionary success lies in its intelligence, adaptability, and resilience. They exist in two distinct regions: Southern Africa (Namibia, Botswana, South Africa) and Eastern Africa (Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania). Despite the geographical divide, both populations share the same instincts and striking appearance. Black-backed jackals are monogamous, forming lifelong pairs. Both parents, and sometimes older siblings help raise the pups, creating a strong family unit that boosts survival. Jackals are known for their intelligence: They cache food for later, can outwit traps and avoid danger, and sometimes team up to hunt larger prey. Their adaptability has allowed them to coexist with humans better than many other wild carnivores. They may not be the king of the savanna, but they are masters of survival. In a world of shifting landscapes and growing human pressures, this clever canid continues to thrive.

Jackals probably do not have a great reputation but they are in my opinion rather attractive and very intelligent social animals. I shot this at some distance so it’s had to be cropped but essentially the shot is Sooc
The photograph was taken at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in the Aberdare area of Kenya. I was lucky as he had the good grace to look at the camera, he looks so alert and sharp

(Canis mesomelas) at a water hole in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier park.
to say, we were watching this beautiful fella for a long time at the water hole. They are always restless and moving on constantly ...
There were three tiny Golden Jackal cubs waiting in their den for Mum to bring food back. They were so good at staying hidden they deserved to survive! They only peeked out twice, really quickly and I only managed one photo.
