Wonderful morning!
Yesterday I went with Owen at Mwagusi and we spent the night there, ealy morning we drove with Riaan out of camp, fully equpped with Owen's gear in my car. We soon found two male lions, the sun was not up yet and we started following them. they reached an open patch when a felmale with three cubs appeared from west. She approached one mail and as he got interested in her, she attacked him straight away. Just few second later they started roaringwith the sun rising behind them, was still cold and we could see clouds of vapor out of the lion's mouth at every roar. Maaaan that sound is so deeply routed inside our atavic memories.
After some minutes the female started walking, definitely in a hunting mood. We followed. After half an hour she decided to leave the cubs hidden and proceed alone. she turned growled to them an sent them scuttling in the bush.
She went on walking and looking around and we followed. She walked and walked and walked again, then she spotted impalas.... she crouched and waited. as the impala moved of she stalked them with a steady pace and then run as fast as she could, the chased lasted 50 mtrsand then the impalas were safe.
She went on again and stalked other impalas but eventually got too tured and went sleeping in the shade..... what a morning...
