Pierre, one of our rangers, was out with guests a few days ago, looking for the lions. He had no idea where they might be located, but then suddenly picked up tracks, and followed them for several kimometers. Just as it was getting late, he suddenly spotted them near a very recent kill: a kudu!! Somewhat late arrival, as the lions were already digesting their latest meal, but nevertheless a fascinating sighting, there is no doubt there.
Pierre went back with the guests the following morning, to see if the lions were still near the kill, as they often take more than a day to eat up a large prey. Alas, they had moved on, and had left behind a rather crude-looking kudu carcass.
We have had a lot of lion sightings as of late, significantly more than in the past, which is really nice. The amount of cheetah sightings has also reached frequent levels, as well as other Big5 game of course. Mike saw Rhinos and cheetahs on yesterday’s morning drive, for instance.
Regarding the photo footage below: Viewer discretion is advised, some people might find such photos slightly or very disturbing. But this is nature’s everyday reality!
