We saw more lions today than on any other drive. Unfortunately one set was not where we could get good pictures but two of them were within a few feet or less of the car.

We came across a car stopped with everyone leaning out windows with their camera. We stopped behind them and soon saw this male lion in the grass. Then an young lion popped up. It soon got annoyed by all the attention and walked behind the car and across the road. Notice its back right leg seems to be damaged.

The male then got up and moved off into the trees on his left. I backed up to see if I could catch him crossing the road and all of a sudden there he was looking right at me and the car that was blocking his path. I thought at first he might just jump on to the car and then off again but instead he turned around and crossed the road further up.

Later we came across other cars by the side of the road. One of them said that there were 4 lions in the grass. I finally found one but the other three were such that we never did get to see them. Two tour cruisers came by and they had a great view from their height. This was one of the times I wish we had a big range rover. But the air-conditioning pretty much makes up for the lost opportunities and we did not do bad at all seeing animals on this trip.
