A day to forget for a wildebeest

We spotted our pride of lions yesterday, right after a successful kill. Well, a happy day for lions is just a crummy day for someone else, and that day it was a wildebeest’s. It’s just that way sometimes. Sometimes the bear eats you. Just that that day it was a lion, which doesn’t make any difference to the wildebeest at all. Game over, literally.

The two female lions were busy dragging the kill under some bushes to hide it away from the Vultures. We spent quite some time with the Lions and the kill, around 45 minutes. We came back later that day, and the lions were still busy working their way through the carcass. Happy days!

It’s a gruesome sight, fair enough, but nonetheless, it’s still a sight to be seen. In fact, most of our guests love seeing nature at its purest (and crudest) form, and that’s what an African safari is also about. If you are keen to see and witness the true cycle of life, then there is no better way to do so than here.

Woohoo ... successful kill!
Woohoo … successful kill!
Some taster ...
Some taster …
The carcass is being hidden under some bush
The carcass is being hidden under some bush
Bloody hell ... !
