Owner in

We spotted lions this morning, bushbuck pride, females, males and cubs. We called Owen and he came because a buffalo herd was approaching.
Buffaloes are close and even if lions are a bit fed they keep moving towards them. Eventually the herd moved in the woods and the lions left them.
Beautiful birds feeding on termites at the kopjes of old airstrip, superb starlings and Von der Deckens Hornbills were feasting in the sun.
Went back in the same lion's spot with Carlo, the owner in the afternoon... lions in the same spot but the other side of the river another herd of at least 1000 buffaloes is coming to drink.... lions move in the river bed closing the gap with the buffs.... they sit in th tall grass while the path finders of the herd come closer... we hold our breath.... but buffaloes change their mind, go back and nothing happens.
