What happens when a rock looks like a lion, a log resembles a leopard, and a guest becomes too embarrassed to point out the next suspicious shape?
In this episode of Beyond the Game Drive, safari guide Kiarie Mathaga explores A.L.T.s—Animal-Like Things—and explains why these false alarms are more than amusing safari moments.
Drawing on a real encounter in Tsavo West National Park, Kiarie shares how one guest’s persistence led to a brief encounter with a shy leopard that might otherwise have gone unnoticed.
Discover why guests should speak up even when uncertain, how experienced guides can overlook things, and why curiosity is one of the most valuable qualities you can bring on safari.
The lesson: You don’t have to identify every animal. Sometimes, you just need to notice something and say so.
Beyond the Game Drive explores the people, decisions and experiences that shape a safari beyond the animals themselves.
