Four buffs

When you see loads of vultures you presume there has been a kill, when you see loads of vultures on trees you presume that the killers are still around, when you see loads of vultures just a couple of kilometers from where lions were eating buffalo the day before you presume that lions are the killers. What I couldn't imagine was to find lions feeding on 4 different buffaloes all within 20 meters one from the other.
More then 20 cats spread over four kills was really something, the feeding was quiet due to the quantity of food but nevertheless really impressive. Just an hour before in this place must have been hell on earth, I just can see all the lions causing havoc amongst the herd and then killing 4 cows with an unbelievable demonstration of power.
One after the other or all together we cannot know, what we do know is that 4 went down within few minutes, what we know is that the lion's hunting today reached pure awesomeness.
Lions went on feeding and moving from one carcass to the other, moving back an forth as they could not decide on which to feed. Covered in blood, the yellow eyes sparkling with confidence they were gloating in that abundance. Jackals and vultures could not do other then watching and waiting.

Later on we also saw the 4 cheetahs, they were beautiful as always and one cub even climbed a small shepherd tree and we also got Evander and Holy with cubs as the sun was setting almost behind them, it was stunning but the highlight remained the buffs butchery.
Was unreal to see lions on a buff and behind lions on another buff and behind lions on another buff again. We felt as we were looking at a famous battlefield were something great had happened. Pure emotions.
