Dinner at breakfast 16/8/2011

Breakfast point, lions sleeping.We drove around as some started moving.... we went down to the river and stopped as we saw a lioness.... she was stalking a herd of zebras... she moved slowly and stealthly..... she closed the distance to ten meters and then she launched herself after the herd... It was fantastic, lioness full speed and zebras thundering through the bush at full power.... it was fantastic with all the dust and the adrenaline..... it was fantastic but it was a miss....The zebras run away the lioness remained put, panting.The herd moved uphill but straight into the other lions... they also started chasing thm and then all disappeared up there.... We drove there but could not find anything... we could hear zebra's calls... but nothing else....I decided to go back to the first lioness and to see if she was bringing us to the others... and so she did... she walked uphill, crossed the upper road and after some calling disappeared into the drainage line...We moved closer and suddenly all the lions came out of the gully, each one with a small piece of a zebra fowl in the mouth..... dinner at breakfast point
