A king’s day

Yesterday was all about lions. We tracked them to a wildebeest kill, unfortunately we had missed it, but as you can see on the photos, only by minutes. When we found them, they had just started eating. And boy, were they feasting!! We sat with them for a long while, while our guests observed this unbelievably unique sighting. The joy to observe these animals in a free environment, doing what they are supposed to do … it’s a true privilige.

Not far from the kill, the usual suspects were waiting for their turn: jackals and vultures. Nothing goes to waste in nature, and everyone gets a bite (or two). Until you become the day’s bite yourself, if you’re not careful for a moment, or just plain unlucky.

Here some really nice photos that Uyai took of the sighting. It doesn’t even begin to reflect the beauty of the actual thing, but it gives you an idea.
