Hidden kudu kill

Some lions were still feeding on the 4 buffaloes, some females and some subadult males but the food was almost finished, vultures and jackals feeding from scraps in every corner,a lone hyena walking in circles around the area at a safe distance.

We also had a big elephant bull having the time of his life scratching against umbrella thorns and a different view, from the bridge above the water of an impala herd drinking.

In the afternoon at w7 we spotted Evander crossing the river, the big cut on the upper lips that we noticed the other day is getting better, her face was full of blood from a recent kill, she walked all the way calling the cubs, we lost her in the tall grass and eventually we went to look for the kill. We thought that she would come back there with the cubs... we looked everywhere, every corner, every bush, but we could not find anything. We went back and forth and reduced the area where we thought she could have killed to less then a hundred meters, but still no kill. Buffs suddenly came into the frame, a small herd came to drink and moved towards breakfast point.. we followed and to our surprise there we found another herd drinking.. they joined and moved off.

By the time we headed back to find the kill, Samson, a guide from another camp already spotted Evander coming back with the cubs and she lead him to the kill.
A young kudu female was laying in a ditch just below the steep bank... there was no way we could have seen it without the cat coming back... amazing, how things can be so close and still not visible... and amazing to see the young cubs feeding on the fresh meat.. fresh meat that to all of us looked very tasty.
