Male Lion on Wilderbeest Carcass

It was one of the coldest mornings we had, think it went down to about -4 round about 6 o clock in the morning. As we departed the lodge all the rangers discussed where they were going to go some said west others said they would stay around close to the lodge.

Game drive started and I wanted the four male lions, they are always close to the lodge or at Malatse Dam and that’s not to far away either.

As went down moraleng we came close to our bush braai access road and that’s where I saw 2 young females eating away on the wilderbeest. They must have just caught it cause there was still a lot of meat on them.

Was very exciting to see this and what made it better a big male lion came and started to feed as well. There were vocalizations in the back round lions everywhere so it was a great morning and I think the guests forgot about the cold for awhile.
