Moses vs. the Wild

If anyone deserves a medal for bravery (and patience) this week, it’s Moses, our head guide, and his guests.

It has been nothing short of a breakfast battle royale in the wild. Every single morning, just as he and his guests settle down to enjoy a peaceful meal in the bush, the Mara decides otherwise.

Yesterday, he thought he was being extra smart and set up breakfast a solid 3 km away from the lions. Safe, right? Well, it turns out the lions took it personally: “How dare you have breakfast in our backyard without inviting us?” Before the guests could finish their last sip of tea, the lions were on the move and, let’s just say, plates were cleared at record speed.

Today, Moses was determined. No lions, no problem! But just as the guests took a little stroll for pictures, a swarm of bees launched a full-scale invasion of the honey jar.

If you’ve never seen a group of grown adults surrender their breakfast to bees, take it from us: it’s both terrifying and hilarious.

Moses? Well, at this point, he’s just waiting to see what tomorrow brings. Breakfast with a cheetah? A hyena food review? Who knows! Stay tuned.
