The remaining four hours — the hunting, the eating, the territorial defence, the raising of cubs — are compressed into a fraction that does not always coincide with a tourist's preferred game drive hours. 	This is why patience is the first skill I teach on a Serengeti safari. It is also the skill most resistant to instruction.

But I want to tell you something I have learned from watching the wildebeest...]]></description><link>https://www.ironmountainsafariclub.com/post/the-great-migration-is-not-a-spectacle</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69f245bf7475e016cb9758ba</guid><pubDate>Wed, 29 Apr 2026 17:55:10 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/794822_582b40caec534f6db58f53eda10bcc86~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>jon10805</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[What the Elephant Remembers]]></title><description><![CDATA[On Matriarchs, Memory, and the Deep Intelligence of Tarangire 	Her name — the name I have given her in my mind, because she has no need of human names — is Bibi. Grandmother. She is the largest elephant I have ever encountered in Tarangire National Park, and I have been watching her for eleven years.
