Jesse tracked the lions for almost 3 days and his hard work paid off last night! It was a nice sighting as they were in a clearing. The Land Cruizer’s battery went flat due to a malfunction on the spotlight and Justine had to go and “rescue” the guests in the Hilux at around 10h30 last night (very exciting!). The guests loved it and it turned out to be a REAL adventure. Justine went back to get Jesse and they managed to get the car started while one kept an eye on the Lions …. but they were very, very relaxed! It seems that they had made a kill earlier on, and were busy digesting a big meal … and doing what lions love doing most: sleeping. Lions sleep up to 18 hours a day! This is in stark contrast to many other African animals such as giraffes, zebras, elephants and many others that in many cases only sleep up to half an hour a day.

See below a photo of last night’s lion sighting … the male looks very chilled and happy.
