Top 10 wildlife images to satisfy your safari cravings

Many of us are working from home and are self-isolating during this time, unable to travel or go on a safari game drive.  Our staff and a few lucky guests are in camp through, so we wanted to share some of their safari sightings. We’ve gathered a few epic East African safari and wildlife images for you to enjoy and keep the safari cravings at bay until you are able to travel again.

All of these images come from Instagram, so for weekly updates, follow @AsiliaAfrica on Instagram, or click on any of the posts from our friends below.

It is so easy to see why the plains of the Masai Mara hold such a reputation. Arguably the most famous wildlife reserve in the world and deep within the reserve lies @asiliaafrica Rekero Camp. The spectacular camp location, overlooking the mighty Talek River, is the prime position to watch the great migration. As they migrate they thunder across the river right outside Camp, putting guests right in the heart of the experience! The wildlife is diverse, the skies are big and the plains are vast.

A thrilling encounter captured by traveller Tony M on the Maasai Mara Reserve. After casually ambling into a herd of wildebeest, a coalition of five cheetah worked together to isolate a target and quickly took it down. An opportunistic hyena was chased off before they settled in for a feast. . . . . . #expertafrica #asiliaafrica #rekerocamp #maasaimara #cheetah #cheetahs #ig_wildlife #safari #wildebeestmigration #bigcatsofinstagram #wildlife_shots

Watching this Leopard climb down from a tree and have a good clean up right in front of us was just amazing! Stunning! 😍 Sayari Camp is located in the Northern Serengeti, near the Mara River, bordering Kenya. If you are lucky (like we were - see some pics below and we will post more soon) you can catch the herds of Wildebeest migrating across the river dodging the many Crocs and Lions on the other side! • • • #serengetinationalpark #familysafari #familysafaris #african_portraits #leopards #leopard #familyadventures #travelstribe #luxfamilyholidays #familytravel #familytime #travelblog #africanwildlife #lonelyplanet #familyvacation #familytraveltips #familytravelblog #familytravelbloggers #bestvacations #wildlifephotography #safariphotography #wonderful_places #beautifuldestinations #africanwildlifephotography #travelmadfam #leopardsofinstagram #yourshotphotographer #serengeti #safariwithkids #travelfam

@lara_wildlife: The African bush is full of surprises and nothing is more rewarding than the glimpse of a caracal, one of the most elusive and secretive cats in the savannah! This gorgeous boy was hunting when we found him at sunrise - a sighting I’ll never forget. — 📍 Namiri Plains, Serengeti National Park —
