That’s what I love about heading out on a game drive – the surprise where you least expect it! Glad that Tsalala and her cub are thriving…..

I have been waiting up dates on the lioness and her cub. Fingers crossed . Liked the fireflies and stars , a timed exposure perhaps?

Thank God those lions made it. Why were you wanting to catch the lions crossing the river?in hopes a croc may get them

Watching lions crossing water is a beautiful scene Tammy, something we don’t get to witness very often here. No one wants to see a lion getting taken by a crocodile.

As far as I am concerned, this is the very reason to enjoy any bush experience. It doesn’t matter what one sees. Being out there is a reason to be there.

An interesting blog Jess. Always nice to have some surprises on a drive. It would be interesting to know exactly why the hyena fell prey to the croc, but guess we will never know. Thank you for sharing with us.
