The cats are out!

Still no rain but whoa! what a game drive this morning. First we saw two well fed lionesses (maybe members of the now scattered Styx pride) strolling over to Kruger and then we were really blessed cause the mighty lion coalition had apparently returned out of nowhere. We saw three of the four male lions who took over a big territory in Sabi Sands a couple of months ago wreaking havoc on the prides in the reserve. To accomplish that they have gone through a lot of fights and it shows. Good to see them in such a great condition though resting around a termite mound.

Just to spoil that sighting a little more we saw Tanya, a small but very successful leopardess up in a tree with a duiker she must've killed tonite. Too bad the light conditions weren't as superb as they were last evening. But the perfect picture wouldn't be the perfect one if you could take it every day, would it? I have added the new corresponding pictures to the album, see link in the posting below.

Have a great day, hope you are well & cheers!

Stefan
