It was the first morning game drive with my guest and the mission was to find lions. I explained to them that the first hour and half of the game drive is to find cats, we took a road called tau link and stopped at the view point to have a look at the view of makwe lake which is the biggest lake or dam in the park. As we were admiring the beauty of nature we heard lions vocalizing and it sounded like they were some were around the dam. We left the view point to investigate the exact location of these cats. We found them lying on the dam wall vocalizing advertising there presence. The sighting was good but not the best because they were just lying down. I took May guest to fish eagle which is one of the picnic site in the park for a coffee break and explained every thing I know about the lions we have just seen.
On our way back we drove past the same lions and they were still lying down but this time they were not singing. We drove around the park looking for more animal identifying some of beautiful bird found in the park. On our way back to the lodge we saw a small brown bird called the Kalahari robin chat hopping on the ground sing melodious songs to us. We were +- 2km away from the lodge and out of no were pop out this lion called mystery son a blond beautiful lion that no one knows who the father of this lion some rangers say his from the western pride. It is still a mystery were these lion comes from and how is he surviving.
