The Masai Mara is awash with sightings of a rare spotted Zebra foal.

The first sightings were photographed by tour guide, Anthony Tira of the Matira Bush Camp whilst on safari in the Masai Mara. Since the images appeared social media has been going crazy for the adorable little foal.

Speaking to the local press, Anthony said he initially thought the zebra has been painted for migration tracking purposes, but on closer inspection realised it was a rare melanin disorder.

Some locals believe the difference in colour to the rest of the herd may cause increased danger from carnivores.

So, on your next Safari trip to Kenya, keep on the look out for the lesser spotted, spotted zebra!

Having driven independently from the UK to South Africa and back again, travelling through 30 African countries over 18 months, it’s fair to say that I love exploring Africa. I enjoy sharing my experiences and helping others plan their own adventures. As a professionally qualified, former safari guide and currently running a small charity in Malawi, I am also passionate about travel that benefits the conservation of Africa’s incredible wildlife and the local people that make a country special.
