Kabini March 2021
Our experience with Safari by Lala was amazing. My parents and boyfriend (now husband) and I went on a safari to Kabini. Including Lala and the driver we were six and had the whole car to ourselves (something I would recommend).
Our first safari of the trip, we were out for a long time, but came up cold. Even though we followed tips from other cars, we didn’t see anything. Time was running out, but determined to show us something, Lala quieted us down so he could listen to the sounds of the jungle. Then suddenly he heard something (not that any of us did) and we were off.
Ten minutes of driving towards the calls, Lala tells the driver to stop and we wait. After a minute we see a herd of deer run as fast as they can, then silence. Seconds later, out of the thick trees we see a leopard lumbering by. We watched till the leopard was out of sight and started to drive back to the lodge excitedly, happy for the sighting.
As we drove back, we suddenly saw, in the middle of the road, closer than we could have ever hoped for, a beautiful tigress. We were the only car there and took full advantage of the sighting of a lifetime. That was our first safari there and we had a sighting every single time we went out. So it’s not just skill that Lala brings to his safaris but also so much luck. I doubt anyone could want more.
