Mike, our new game ranger, was looking for the lion pride for 4 days, and after getting close several times, finally got our guests a fantastic visual of the entire pride 3 days ago. A big round of applause of all guests, as this was a spectacular sighting, with all of them very relaxed and in open sight. (the lions, not the guests. The guests were very excited!)
The dominant male, the “boss”, is indeed growing into an enormous Cape lion, and seeing them all together is again and again an awsome sight. The little cubs are not cubs anymore. They grow up so fast, as our safari reserve with over 36,000 acres is so large and with all the plentiful prey opportunities, they are looking strong already.
It was amazing to see them move slowly through the riverbed, right in front of the game driver. I will update you regularly on future sightings, as more females may be introduced, and the cubs leaving the reserve, potentially some time in the future, in order to conquer their own territory. They are looking very strong and healthy, so they should do fine. Updates will be published here!
