e-mail direct from The Big Cat team:
Big Cat returns this autumn, but in an exciting new guise.
For the first time in its 12 year history, Big Cat will be broadcast as a live event on the web and on TV, bringing the thrum of the African wilderness to your desktop and living rooms 24/7 for three weeks.
From late September, when the recce and filming begin, the crew will start to upload regular field reports on the feline and other animal stars direct to the website via mobile phone.
We'll bring you special video reports about the animals, people and place, building up to a fully live, round-the-clock experience on the website a week before the TV show begins.
Streaming wildlife webcams will reveal the hidden lives of Africa's favourite - and some lesser known - creatures. There'll be scheduled appointments to view including live reports from the presenters and others, as well as opportunities for you to contribute.

On TV
-------------------------------
All this and you haven't even turned on the TV yet... At the peak of activity, a week of live, night-time broadcasts on BBC One and Two bring the event to a climax, with even the smallest viewers catered for in a special CBeebies series.
Jonathan Scott will be filming the live event and then he and Angie will be joining a group of other photographers for a week's safari in the Masai Mara staying at Rekero Camp.

Masai Mara with Jonathan Scott
Images from Kicheche Mara Camp
In October 2006 we spent a week in the Masai Mara on a photography trip with Jonathan Scott. This was our first venture to Africa and our first 'photographers' trip. Jonathan was a great inspiration and very helpful with techniques and showing different ways of capturing animal portraits. We met some wonderful people on this trip, many of whom we've kept in touch with and hope to travel with again.
We stayed at Kicheche Mara camp which was about 1hr's drive outside the Masai Mara NP. The camp staff were wonderful and all the drivers were very knowledgeable. The food was of a high standard too.
On this trip the days were very long. We were up at 5.30 and out of the camp by 6am until at least 7-7.30pm most evenings. We then had 30mins to grab a quick bucket shower and get to dinner. By 10.30pm everyone was in bed, exhausted from the day.
Below are a few shots from the trip, including 2 which made it into the semi-finals of the Shell WPOTY comp 2008.
