An African Animal safari in the rain

Animal safaris are as good as they can get. With the right animals to see in any given habitat, wildlife is the ultimate goad for any safari destination in the world. While natural phenomenon such as weather, animals are not deterred with any weather conditions as far as the rains concerned. 

The animals which prey on other animals find courage to hunt in the rain so long as their easy prey is just lingering around and scared by the rain. As strange s it can be, some animal safari adventures are always very pleasant if you happen to be in one. 

Driving on the red volcanic soil in the African Savannah lands is as thrilling as the animals in the wilderness themselves. Despite the fact that these beautiful safaris come at a cost of time and money, for those who have nothing to fear.


The animal action is always there. lions chase other animals to eat. Hyenas on the other hand will steal the lions meat if the lioness is the only lion which has hunted the animal down and the rest of the lion heard is away. The cheetah on the other hand will try to get whatever food it can get as much as possible without being seen while still making sure it is not falling prey to other dangerous animals in the same habitat as well. 

This vicious cycle of the hunters and the hunted prey and predator is just fascinating when you come to think of it. Its that animal safari travelers who needs to make use of the adventure that has presented itself. If fear of getting stuck in the mud while going off-road which is always the case while travelling in the 4by4 wheel drives, the African long rains sometimes can render these weather roads to be inaccessible. 

That being the case, other possibilities are here to be flown  out of the area if the rains persists. This is not the casein may of the national parks in the African Savannah where they also have air rescue. With the prevailing weather conditions, someone should be able to access the situation and also get some advise from his travel agent or tour guide as to whether the animal safari at hand is as perfect as it can be.

If you are lucky to be passing some-of the major rivers along the African Savannah, you might just be lucky to see the basking Nile crocodiles and what a great moment to see these beautiful dangerous animals in their own natural habitat. Despite the fact that weather conditions always condition someone to like or not to like a safari, one should be pondering about the amazing animals in the rain forest of different parts of the world. 

When you talk of rain, it rains day in and day out. Showers here an showers there, That has not stopped the dedicated animal researchers to venture into these rain forest wilderness to come up with amazing research and information about exotic animals, reptiles birds species and other endangered animal species found in these beautiful habitat which is now being encroached by the general populations as people keep on looking for timber to feed their industries, farming to feed the hunger of the growing population and the continuous hunting of the different animal species found in the rain forest as a souse of food or bush meet all together. 

For the local person this is not a surprise for him as his ancestors have been hunting and walking in may of the forest and jungles of these habitat where animals have always not been a threat to them as there was always plenty to eat and a lot of ground to cover while marking their territory. 

But with the advent or roads in these beautiful animal habitat have pushed these endangered animals deep in the forest  an sometimes a clash between man and animal takes place. With modern arsenals, man has been able to hunt down these animals  down with the pretext that they had destroyed his land or property. 

When such episodes of who is right and who is wrong start to emerge, there is always one victor and that is the person who have a voice. If all animals had their own rights to defend themselves, the carnage of some of the most beautiful animals in the word would not have been taking place. 

Despite the fact that thee is a great hue and cry about the plight of rare and endangered animal species, a few good men and women are on the fore front to see such gestures are not taking place through  animal awareness programs and the plight of the environment and the endangered animals a swell. If the while world would have learned that there is a need to preserve these beautiful animals, people would not have had to travel miles and miles just to see these beautiful animals in different parts of the wild. 

But since the carnage had started centuries ago and was mainly conducted by the rich and the royal, many of these same people through their constant visits have seen the change in the lives of these wild animals they visited while they were in these beautiful animal habitat.

Wild Animal Dangerous Breeding Grounds

Wild animals have a lot to teach us as conservation and protection of the environment is considered. Different wild animals have always been moving from places to places in search of beautiful pastures and fresh water there by settling and creating their natural breeding grounds and hence protect their herds and families as well. With all the modern technology, man has tried to conquer the wilderness for his own good. 

There is little which has been done in the plight of dangerous wild animals which has really had a great impact with the clash of dangerous wild animals and the current unwanted animal attacks and loss of habitat loss for these beautiful dangerous animal

Its not than man has not been benefiting from these wild animals but by the time people start making the hue and cry, the damage is always way to far and with the existing credit crunch, Geo politics and Geo economics, many people and sectors of the society have managed to take advantage of many of the situations that hinder the proper conservation and protection of wild animals not only while they are in the wild but also in many of the worlds natural reserves and conservation centers and while in captivity.

With little resources for wild animal protection and conservation, many of the dangerous wild animal natural breeding grounds are not given the proper protection hence many of the wild plants and natural forest have resulted in the unwanted movement of animals in new territories and find themselves victims of circumstances as they stray into human natural habitat thereby bringing a clash resulting in many of the wild animals being hunted down and put down just because they have strayed in to places where humans have encroached and with little protections its the wild animals which end up being victimized within their homestead which they used to move freely.

With different people and cultures still making use of animal parts and animal products, there are many thins which don't just hit home as a rule of thumb. Despite our technological advancement, people while trying to cope up with the complexities of the modern world, they tend to find answers back from nature and while some take the monopoly of the existing natural resources and wild animals, there has always been an ever exploitation of both the animals and the environment and when natural calamities prevail, the beautiful earth which was blessed with its bounty 

 

As the number of wild animals keep on dwindling,  different ongoing research which is carried  for the sake of breeding these endangered and near extinction wild animals has to come at the right time. With little awareness of many of the dangerous animals which are almost being wiped out due to traditions or medicinal value, you get that there has to be a yardstick so that the rule of law regarding dangerous animals should apply so as to have a conformity of how to handle wild animals and the environment instead of letting it being degraded while little is left for the coming generation.

While a collective effort is needed by creating awareness from the ground level, finances and the willingness of the masses has to be steered in order to gain their faith for any ongoing natural preservation of both plants and animals before they reach heights of no return in terms of conservation. With the ever natural phenomenon which are ever unpredictable, rising up after the great falls is just the way forward in making these living creatures and plants be able to fend for themselves as they keep on adopting to the natural vegetation and the very resources available to them.

The ecosystem and the different animal breeding grounds have always been able to sustain themselves if they are not interfered with man made habitats and movement. This has been the focal point of many of the losses of these breeding grounds of animals as there has always been the lust for more and exploitation of resources for the ever growing population of the world. While people tend to blame it on nature, people have brains to help alleviate the already existing natural problems of different parts of the natural habitat which engulf these beautiful dangerous wild animals just across our state and national boundaries.

 We have been crossing paths with dangerous animals from time and memorial and with man ever changing personality and his search for knowledge and information, lines are crosses hence the clash of man verses animal and with all the human and animal rights, the one with superior weapons in the modern world is just at he top of the list despite many conventions and treaties which have been ratified and keep on being ratified. While such a move to protect and preserve these dangerous animal breeding grounds is still having some hopes due to the endless efforts from a few good people and organizations worldwide, the snail pace is tiresome and time consuming while many of the dangerous animals are being depleted day in day out.

What does the future hold for the wilderness and the plight of wild animals at large is something which both men and women big and small have to ponder. Fore those who have managed to go on an African Safari might have a ground reality of the true facts of what needs to be done and the extent of damage being caused and what is being done to help protect these precious breeding grounds of such beautiful wild animals despite dangerous hash weather conditions which keep on lashing across the  great African continent with already depleted natural and financial resources to pull itself together when such natural calamities sweep through.

Decades of hunting in the Great African Continent

Dangerous animal hunting of the decades in Africa

What is a safari or game hunting when it comes to Africa game hunting?  Is Africa being the continent with all its glamour of visiting and being depicted as what would be a safari with out hunting for game? All over the globe man has slowly tamed the wilderness all the way from the Arctic circle to the Cape of Good hope in Africa and deep in the Australia jungles. Just for the sake of animal hunting, man has pushed deeper in many of the world tropical rain forest piping his nose against the ruthless terror of the jungles which are richly infested with animals of different sizes big animals small animals venomous insects, poisonous plants and dangerous animal attacks along the way. 

In many of the African jungles, many have made safaris come hunting for game in these hunting territories resisted man with miles of dangerous jungles,  swamps infested by the African Nile crocodiles and the great hippopotamus, grassland full of lions, leopards cheetahs rhinos buffaloes and  many of the beautiful animals roaming the African Savannah south of the Sahara Desert just for the sake of game hunting and reasons best known to them as to really what is a safari for them.

Having an access a safari to these hunting areas, many hunters while on their hunting outfitters would battle rapids, waterfalls and crocodiles of different sizes. Their great African safari dugout canoes would be just too flimsy and would easily tip over in these dangerous African great rivers if one had opted to get into the deep jungles of Africa for the best hunting places.

From the early 1900s Africa for hunting safaris was "The Place" for the rich and the royal to go hunting.........READ MORE ABOUT ........Dangerous animal hunting of the decades in Africa

DANGEROUS ANIMAL VOYAGE

May wild animals just as humans have faced different natural calamities. Just as big and small they are, different wild animals do struggle to make sure that the have a nice family and a continuation of their generation as well. Have you ever seen a wild animal in times of diversity with all the global warming and different natural calamities coupled with deforestation and loss of animal natural habitat?. 

With different natural and ananimal habitats, dangerous animals  stinging insects  and crowling reptiles would emberk on a journey as they make their breeding grounds,  hives, holes and nests which depending on the natural habitat go diffentet ways just to gather that special building material from long distance to make it a home.

When these beautiful animals whether snakes who could have gathered dry grass or an eagle  which could have flown with great speed and covered miles back and forth just to complete the nesting place or a home and ready to lay eggs or give birth to live ones in terms of different snake species  the dangerous weather conditions, or the unforgiving exploitation of our natural habitat by man in different parts of the world, you find that humans and may of the other animals species just as the natural food chain and  survival for the fittest, these animal shelters end up being destroyed just keeping in mind how much effort these animals have made just to prepare that breeding grounds or a place to lay these precious eggs or to give birth

Dangerous animals such as elephants are some of the most intelligent animals in the world. The do not forget things and will always remember every inch of the way just as a dangerous lion will mark its territory with its scent to protect its pride. 

These exotic animals, stinging  insectes and venomous reptiles do not give up wheether its an endagered turtle which is going back to the shores Mauritious or the warm shores of the Australian coast. Giving up is not just a part of their vocabulary or they just didnt have to go to an animal school to learn it but just the sheere animal instinct is that they are born with it and the moment they set foot on  this dangerous but beautiful animal habitat which is there for them to live and flourish. These sophisticated intelligent animals of the times will

 start over from scratch building and rebuilding their breeding space, den or even look for another enclosure or  the grass thacthed nest again and again day in day out

until  they have those little tinny cubs, babies, eggs in the den, hive, crevices, cave or nest again

The Great Horn of Africa and the Plight of the endangered Flora and Fauna

Saving a Life is a decision.

Our decisions have always  determined our directions in terms of need in different parts of the world. Droughts, wild fires, tsunamis, earthquakes are just part of our embedded lives. Wild animals are killed, animals are attacked and the most endangered animals perish as a result of the fore seen and unforeseen global events and end up being reported in the worlds animal news while some great inspiring news about saving the animals and lives of many just perish with the ill wind that sweeps across.

We all need to Decide to be positive in the different natural and man made calamities that engulf the different places that we live in. We have all witnessed just within our different spheres of living with animals who are destitute and without rain, the situation is blown in different proportions.  Humans scavenge for the slightest twig they can get to enable them utilize it as a basic need. Animals on the other hand with little or no protection at all find grass or the little foliage with its last steps being observed by other dangerous animals hovering above the sky waiting for any kind of flesh that fumbles and is left for the mercy of the earth to consume it.

Its only by Deciding to move onward in terms of helping the needy and giving a helping hand despite any ongoing events then and only then do we humans move upward. The Horn of Africa has its own great history. The African Bush Elephants was home to this beautiful land for centuries and little did the world know that many of the elephants had to move south of the  Sahara desert well never to come back again just because of national boundaries and the restriction of animals by the relevant authorities. Lions and many of the Big five animal population thrived for decades. what went wrong is just a matter of another finding yet to be presented. Does the horn of Africa has a role to play in terms of bringing back some of the lost heritage of wild animals? With constant monitoring of the current refugee status and the civil conflict around the Horn of Africa little is expected and the little help available just makes all the baby step needed to help conserve the future animals of the Horn of Africa. As far as the remaining endangered or near extinct animals are concerned, the world has to take the initiatives so that when such animals are re introduced in the wild, change is always there.

Saving a life is the same as saving humanity and  Deciding to save a child or any child in any part of the world as many would have said is just what we humans do. Animals also have feelings. They need love and affections as well was for the betterment and giving hope for more people to be aware that something can be done at large with the collaboration of many hands with limited resources. Its not just the money, prayers and communication just mends it all and  to be positive in spite of what the rest of the world is talking about. If the world managed to save the Serengeti Natural wonder of the wildebeest  animal migration what more can that helping had provide to the few million of the Horn of Africa which need all the help just like any other situation we live and have lived in.

You do not have to join in.

Get out of the negative feedback loop.

Decide in favor of helping as you have also been blessed in your own world at large with all the abundant of opportunities whether achieved or ascribed. Lets all give  happiness whether it’s a war torn area or a flood denudated region, peace for all those who seek it and deserve it to progress just as you and me have experienced it, abundance of the basic necessities which WE TAKE FOR GRANTED JUST AS THE FRESH DEW DROP EARLY IN THE MORNING and with all our support physically, mentally , spiritually emotionally financially psychologically they are sure to succeed. It’s just a WIN-WIN situation.

It is your decision whether to save a child while the rest of the clan is looting and plundering.

It's just a decision.

Lets all achieve that PEACE NEEDED PIECE BY PIECE

Save the Elephant, its big Tusk and the Elephant Tail

Halt the Buying of Elephant Goods and the Killing of Elephants Stops 2

Baby elephants need all the help from feeding mother elephants

Why do elephants attack people? Is it genetic or a revenge from the elephant’s fore fathers who were parched to extinction during the slave trade and the ivory trade centuries ago? Did the African Elephants deserve what they they got. These are just part of what nature has to offer in the elephant world. Do we really know anything about elephants? Do we know what goes on in the minds of the elephants. 

The Elephants just like humans are very intelligent

Well for those who have spent many years with these beautiful elephants with an aim of saving the elephants have some insight about how elephants need to be saved and as a matter of fact saving all the elephants of the world wherever they are; in zoos, animal sanctuaries or just in captivity or as pets in circuses or elephants who have been tamed ad are considered part of the farm animals with many of the Asian elephants. What don’t we know about the elephant's  habitat and their breeding grounds?  With many of the worlds elephants residing in the African Savannah and in the national parks of Kenya Uganda Tanzania and South Africa, some of these elephants which need to be saved have seen the worst as far as elephants poaching is concerned and there is a hue and cry to save the elephants not from within but from outside as well. Despite the fact that the global ban on international trade in ivory imposed in 1989 remains and is being adhered to, many of the different African governments are yet to understand the implications of reading between the lines as the same goes to those countries which allow such elephants ivory enter in their countries. As far as the utility value of the elephant tusks remains high, the elephant ivory lucrative market will still lure more to venture into this illicit trade and thereby exposing the elephants to even staggering low numbers as is the casein many of the West African countries.

Many elephants have been killed as their habitat dwindles 

Have we reached a stage where we can say no to the killing and poaching of elephants while at the same time we keep on buying expensive ornaments and artifacts made from the endangered elephant ivory and other tusks from animals such as the endangered beautiful white rhino and the black which is also on the verge of extinction?  When is the demand of the elegant elephant accessories, goods and expensive jewelry going to stop so that the killings of these beautiful God given African and Asian elephants can stop too? 

How many more elephants to we need to save

Can the world  help save the elephant by bolstering anti-poaching patrols, by providing the relevant different elephant neigbouring villages/communities and organizations  the needed tools and  equipment needed to help save the endangered African and Asian elephants? While still water runs deep some subjects which cross national boundaries become too complex  which renders helpless exotic animals of the wild without any spokesman to dare vocalize the plight of the elephants and the dire need to save them. Has a lot been done to save the African elephant and the Asian elephants?  Is something being done to save these elephants in different parts of the continent? Many elephants and animal activist have gone miles and to create elephant awareness, elephant education, the different elephant behavior and two thumbs up for those who have been able to put the elephants into better use as far as farming and helping the community in the Asian region is concered. 

The elephant tusks belong to the elephants just as our teeth in us

Well on the other hand, with the demand of timber on the rise and degradation of the fauna of the Asian region, the elephant has played much of the role in bringing the trees to our homes in terms of furniture, construction and all the fitting which comes up from the logs where the elephant is used as a beast of burden. Should people be optimistic in saving the worlds climate or saving the elephants on a need come basis?

With vast open lands poachers hunt elephants and  day in day out

Male & female African elephants have horns unlike Asian Tusks

With so many vehicles which are deemed un road worth saving the elephants with such an asset with these vehicles  being impounded in bonded warehouses and underground parking just because they were not cleared or didn't have enough papers would these vehicles serve as a helping had to speed up the patrols in such elephant risk prone areas if the vehicles are repaired or  purchased and given to the needy organizations so that they can be able to stand on their feed with all the economic crunch. I guess the economics and laws of the land have to be tabulated and be considered as well. But with little bargaining power saving the elephants or such endangered animals not forgetting the near extinct flora and fauna of the elephant habitat will just perish just within our blinking eyelids spectrum. 
For the protection of all endangered animals, the great African elephants, the Rhino, the lions, the cheetahs and the leopard just to mention a few  in most third world countries where there is an abundant of wild life and animals which need to be protected, vehicles to patrol are some of the simplest ways to be used to pave way in apprehending the culprits. On the other hand, two way radios or effective communication to enhance  surveillance saves all the time and energy in saving the elephants and the other wild animals which might also fall prey in the hands of poachers as well equipment. 


Is that just enough to save the elephants and the story just ends with a happy ending? With proper elephant protection legislation being implemented and ratified, that just a mile stone in saving the elephants which are remaining in the wild. Do we have any success stories about elephants in the different parts of the wild. The yard stick for the protection, conservation and breeding of the elephants is way complicated as part of the data is not forth coming. Despite the fact that Google maps help locate most of the elephants which have been flitted with collar tracking devices, the protection and saving of the elephants though still on its hay stages some people have been made proud in seeing many more active role in terms of active elephant research being carried out and people with the elephant passion getting involved and understanding the minds of the elephants the way they associate with other elephants, the way elephants migrate and the way they respond to natural calamities seconds before disasters as well.

If people managed to save the Serengeti animal migration highway, what would it cost to save the rest of the worlds elephants. On the other hand the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) has played a very big role in creating awareness in terms of the elephant numbers where by  the number of  the Africa's elephant population was 1,300,000 in the 1980. Just a few years later the number plunged to around  625,000 in African countries. Kenya and Mali were the only countries which had refused to sell their stock pile of the ivory captured in different parts of the world in the illegal ivory trade. While most of the elephants still become endangered its through proper involvment of the general masses through education of the elephants, sharing of  elephant information and above all imparting or giving information about elephants to those who need it and those it might be intended for.

This painstaking episode of saving the  elephant and all the wild elephants at large started almost 20 years ago when the ban on the sale of Ivory was brought about but has the sailing been easy?  With all the deep waters which cover the vast area of the Savannah and the worlds great oceans and seas, mankind has played part in bringing the elephants to a grinding halt  just because of the glamour and fashion. With the little awareness which ensued, most of the countries against the illegal trade of ivory had no better way of ending the elephants onslaught just because of its elephant utility it provides while female elephants and the young elephants are left without any hopes of their forefathers being there to trace back their elephant train from the tip of Africa way down to the Kruger plains in South Africa. 
With less animal migration corridors being on the verge of near extinction due to the population boom, many families living within the elephant natural breeding grounds have had problems with elephants. Many of the elephants end up dead as a result of DDT and some other chemicals easily available in many of the local shops in the villages or cities which is thrown in many of the animal water holes or ponds while some are just killed with poisonous arrows and are left to die as a result of their movement which meanderings to people farms and residential areas. That being part of nature, many of the victims of animal and elephant attacks have well been compensated in terms of animal being injured as a result of the elephant attacks, people being killed or wounded as a result of the elephants and property as well which is way well in place. 
 and renovate ranger housing. With your help, we partner with local governments on projects that educate local communities on the value of protected areas and parks, defuse human-elephant conflicts and improve the infrastructure needed to better protect these magnificent ecosystems.
