The cats are out, part 2...

If I hadn't travelled to Africa a few times before I'd probably have peed in my pants today. Male lions all over the place. And pretty much intruding the comfort zone of most visitors, I would not have been surprised if they had rubbed their bum on the vehicle. Funny enough it was scratching day today. We saw zebra, rhino, buffalo and kudu with itchy bums all over the place. Each of them were rubbing against something, mostly trees or branches. Wildlife comedy.

But when it came to the three lions we saw this morning, everybody just shut up. They were a little scattered over an airfield inside the reserve when one of them started vocalizing. The definition of vocalizing in this case is more like a brutal roar that makes your clothes and the whole vehicle vibrate. This was just CRAZY and strangely exciting!!! We then followed them a long way and they headed straight for a big herd of buffalo. I don't know why we didn't pursue them longer but tomorrow we'll probably know what they were up to.

Will have my last dinner at Nkorho now, til later and cheers!
