A few months on the fertile volcanic soil near the Ngorongoro Crater have made the wildebeest healthy and strong. They have moved on towards the Grumeti river. By now temperatures are rising and dust filles the air. Feeling good, the males want to show off their strength and court the females. Hoping to win a girl-gnu for their harem, the wildebeest "flirt" by grunting and jumping wildly,...
Feeling lucky to have escaped the Lions, Tata&Squack talk about a great storyteller in their life. “You know Squack, Bibi told me once, that the Masai men used to conquer a woman’s heart by defeating a lion.” After our own encounter with the King of animals, I am very impressed by the courageous deed of Masai men. "For those of you, who do not know, Bibi means ‘grandmother’ in Swahili. Bibi...
Camouflage is the art of not being seen, often practiced by predators. Tata&Squack discovered this art of disguise during their Big Journey.

Gerade lief in der ARD eine Dokumentation aus der Reihe Erlebnis Erde mit atemberaubenden Bilder von der...
The illustrations in Tata&Squack, The BIg Journey are a mix of photographs, drawings and collages. The photographs for the illustrations were taken in the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and in the Masai Mara in Kenya. A lot of the wildebeest, especially Moyo, are ink drawings. To set him apart a bit, Moyo is slightly bigger and sturdier than the average wildebeest. I had a hard time with...
We climb on Moyo’s back and hold on to his tangled manes. A dusty smell reaches our noses. “Great ride, Moyo.” Rocking softly on Moyo’s back, we watch the long queue of chocolate brown wildebeest, caramel coloured antelopes and black and white zebras. Shading my eyes with one hand, I ask Moyo: “Where are we heading?” “We are on our way to my favourite place, over there, near the mountains at the...
