The first glimpse of one of my wet dreams : the rare Serval Cat in the high savannah grass

My main "African ambition" this year will be October as I will stay 2 full weeks in Oltepesi Camp in Maasai Mara, Kenya. This will be my third visit to Mara & Oltepesi in 12 months. The pictures in this post are from my second visit to the Mara : Aug / Sept. It was "only" a week ... serving like an appetiser for my upcoming longer stay. However I'm especially happy with the serval cat.
Hope you like the pictures.
Cross my fingers for October !!!
