Today we started off with some Nyala and Impala in the riverbed. But our guides and the MRL guides were on a mission to find the lions. We had not seen them in 2 days, and that is unusually long. Aurela at MRL picked up fresh tracks and radioed us – we set off determined and it paid off! We found the male and the two young females on the Moria cutline. They were on the move so we followed them for about 30 minutes or so. Our guests were very excited, this is what they have traveled half the world around to see … the male stopped at one point to roll around in some fresh elephant dung. Charming. 😉 Eventually they disappeared into the thickets. Great sighting!
On our return to the lodge we saw the Elephant bull in an area we call the “Cotton Fields” – he was by himself and in a foul mood. We watched him for a bit before he gave us a shake of the head and disappeared into the shrubbery.
Uyai has been given a new camera, and the advantage is obvious: it makes much better quality photos. I am looking forward to posting better material on this blog going forward!
Here some beautiful photos we took today of the lion sighting today:
