I was out myself on the reserve three days ago, being very excited. It had been a long while, and I must admit that I do not go out on game drives nearly as often as I wish. Well, this one was going to make up for it, especially as we have great sightings these days on quasi every game drive.
Chance (or bad luck) would have it, that it started raning about 30 minutes into the game drive. But our guests were unfazed, and determined. The ponchos came out, and the safari continued. And it was well worth it!
We found all 4 lionesses, resting under a bush, trying to shelter from the rain, and dodging the lightnings and the thunder. The weather conditions made the sighting all the more dramatic!
We are trying to get the lions used to seeing Uyai, our ranger, on the tracker’s seat in front of the game driver, they are still uneasy about it, but they are better already now.
We got within 8-10 yards of them, and I succeeded at capturing some beautiful footage of these 4 lionesses. See below and enjoy!
