Three hunts, zero kills

Was a good wildlife day, the mbagi (now called kwihala) pride was waiting for us at lulenga juu, no adults, only the cubs were around. They were full of energy, playing all over the place. Big cubs stalking big cubs, small cubs ambushing small cubs, small cubs teasing big cubs and big cubs retaliating on small cubs... was very good fun. They went on and on for at least one hour then they went for a nap and so we went off.

Now was Kipunji pride waiting for us at breakfast point, first we spotted 13 of them north side of the river, all quite sleepy except an aggressive female strangely growling at us then we crossed and found other 9 together with the big males. It was quite sighting the big boy walking towards the car, guests were nicely holding their breath.

The rocks of the old airstrip framed our breakfast, I find that fruits, cereals and muffins are even better if eaten with a stunning scenery around.... and I find a stunning scenery like the sweet hills and rocky outcrops even better if we can see a cheetah in the middle.
He was relxing under a baobab and then started walking along the drainage line, twice he tried impalas, beautiful run, beautiful show but twice he missed, zero kills.
We stayed with him one good hour and went back for lunch.

Afternoon with the same two prides of the morning and then the leopard cub of sokwe forest was spotted up on a branch. Light was stunning and the cat was soooo relaxed. Super!
Eventually when it was almost dark it climbed down and disappeared in the bush. After few minutes a banded moongose bolted out followed by the spotted hunter, the moongoose made it but just for a matter of centimeters.... so the total of today was 3 hunts 0 kills.... or actually zero skills.
