At Mara Plains Camp in Kenya's Olare Motorogi Conservancy, food is as much about feeling connected to the landscape as it is about what’s on the plate. Local ingredients and time-honoured skills come together in dishes that are authentic and carefully crafted.

This is one of the "Bad Boys", a duo of lions that left Duba Plains and made their way across to the swamplands around Duba Explorers Camp where they have been clashing with the resident males over territory. 📍Duba Explorers Camp, Botswana 📷 Thaloganyang Rantole

The martial eagle, Africa’s largest raptor, soars above the plains with a presence that’s impossible to ignore. With keen eyesight and a wingspan over two metres, this predator commands the skies across much of sub-Saharan Africa. 📍 Mara Plains Camp, Kenya 📷 Kevin Sayialel

Red lechwe are a common sight at Duba Plains. At home in the marshy terrain, these antelope are armed with splayed hooves and long hind legs covered in a water-repellant substance which allows them to easily leap through the water to evade predators. 📷 Omphile Kaluluka

Each year, floodwaters drench the plains in northern Botswana creating a landscape rich in biodiversity. But the saturated savannah can also be challenging to navigate. Zebras, like all species here, must negotiate tricky water crossings. 📍Okavango Explorers Camp

Lions and leopards often steal the show, but hyenas deserve the spotlight too. Far from being “just scavengers,” they’re skilled hunters with sharp intelligence and an essential role in keeping ecosystems balanced. 📍 Zarafa Camp, Botswana

At ol Donyo Lodge, guests can trade the rumble of an engine for the rhythm of hoofbeats. A horseback safari here brings you closer to the land, its wildlife, and its stories. And when the ride ends, a bush breakfast under the trees awaits. https://t.co/sUXjSie6BW

There are few experiences more powerful than spending time with elephants in their natural home. At Mpala Jena, an exclusive camp tucked away in the Zambezi National Park, guests are invited to pause, slow down and connect with nature. https://t.co/KfuIkfGNhw

Relocating painted dogs can be a complex conservation challenge. It requires patience, careful planning and sometimes a bit of strategic improvising:

Even the smallest lions know the value of a good scratch. Digging their claws into a tree helps keep them sharp for hunting, clean from infection, and flexible for the chase. 📍Mara Nyika, Kenya 📷 Helene Ramackers

“Set along the river’s edge and tucked into the canopy of the most spectacular ebony trees, Mara Toto Tree Camp is ideal for those who want to experience Africa the way we have for many years — just better.” – Dereck Joubert, Great Plains co-Founder https://t.co/l2VoDTI7Qg

A hyena pup at Duba Plains takes on its first challenge: a stick. Still too young for spots, it wears a fluffy brown coat instead. Misunderstood by many, but here’s proof that hyenas are curious, playful, and undeniably cute.

Our guests and guides have been enjoying some amazing leopard sightings across all our camps recently. This gorgeous character was recently spotted near Mara Toto Tree Camp in Kenya's Masaai Mara Reserve. 📍 Mara Toto Tree Camp, Kenya 📷 Kimberly Ntutu
