Credit to our guides and trackers where credit is due! They do find and see our lions incredibly often, despite the immense size of our conservancy of 36,000 acres in total.
Yesterday, they hit jackpot and saw both lions and cheetahs the same day. This does happen regularly, but nonetheless, what a great day for our guests! Given that there are only 300-400 cheetahs living in the wild in South Africa, such a sighting is quite something (especially if you keep in mind that South Africa is twice as large as France).
All lionesses were reunited once again with the Male, and they were on the hunt. We didn’t see if they made the kill. But Chad is sure they would have. We saw them pretty early in the riverbed near the lodge. They were heading up the Bloubergbos area (the conservancy is so large that we use the original names of the various land parcels in order to know what we are talking about) and we left them lying in the shade there.
The Cheetah brothers were seen near Big Dam. They were very relaxed and groomed each other constantly. They didn’t seem interested in much. At one point they got up, just to move to the next bit of shade – where they went back to sleep. So they must also have made a kill recently.
