The moment a crocodile launched a ferocious attack on a gazelle, before tearing it in half using its powerful jaws. The 16ft reptile was lying in wait as its thirsty prey ran into a river to drink in the Masai Mara National Reserve, in Kenya.  Snatching the female by its leg, the half-ton beast dragged the gazelle underwater and drowned it before hauling its prey closer to the shore.

A walking safari is the purest way to experience the bush and fully immerse yourself in nature. On a walking safari, you become a participant in the action, rather than a spectator.  Guided by Africa’s best and most highly trained guides, a walking safari puts you on equal terms with Africa’s wildest animals, making it a unique and thrilling experience.

If you are planning on going on an African safari, the last thing you would want to do is spoil the trip right out of the chute by forgetting some essential things.

Both Grauer's gorillas and local communities could be placed in even greater danger from warlords, militias and miners if President Donald Trump signs a draft presidential memorandum leaked to Reuters in early February. The new policy would allow US companies to buy conflict minerals freely -- including gold, tin, tantalum, coltan and tungsten -- without public disclosure.

A walking tour into Murchison Falls National Park and a boat tour provide amazing ways to see the country, especially its wildlife.  You can take a guided walking tour into the park, where you can see scores of giraffes munching on acacia trees, and herds of water buffalo who look at you like angry busybodies with terrible haircuts
