Well this morning I had a great game drive , we left just on 6:00am the air was on the warm side , we headed of not long I got 2 Lionesses walking in the road towards me I switched off , they were walking at a steady pace , the approached the game viewer and sniffed at the wheels ,the where very relaxed with no worry what so ever , but I could notice they were on the hunt by their body language just before getting the 2 females I got some Impala that just crossed the road at the on junction link , and I knew the females would stalk on to them. So I decided to turn around and wait with the Impala to see what would happen , a few minutes went past and I notice the one female low to the ground getting closer to the Impala , She was off after them but no luck she was just to far out from them .
She then re-joined the other female, starting to play a bit when they met up. They then carried on walking in the road in the distance I noticed a big heard of Blue Wildebeest walking towards them , they went down waiting , I knew something had to happen this time, these females where hungry.
The Blue Wildebeest where on their path, I could see the lions had put their eyes on a youngster at the back of the heard they got close within 20 meters of the lions the one female broke off at full speed she was after the young Blue Wildebeest, but the youngster was too quick it was close but not close enough. She gave up and came back towards the road where she lay down next to my Game Viewer for a few minutes getting her breath back. They slowly made their way down into a thicket.
We decide to move on and see what els we could find we managed to get another sighting of Lion a nice male and young female very relaxed lie in the sun on a burnt patch of grass. A little further we got an Elephant bull, lots of White Rhino and a few Giraffe.
It was a stunning drive that we had, there was not for one second that we never had something happening.
