At Singita now. This camp has a pride of 41 lions with all ages. We saw them last year but they were only 23 then. It was a fantastic sighting. New males took over and now this is a huge pride. They knew where they were but could not find. So two trackers headed off into the bush loaded rifles in hand to find them. Unfortunately they trackers said they had headed into Kruger where we could not follow them. They go back and forth between Singita and Kruger they do not know the boundary line. Silly lions. Tomorrow some of us are going to head out earlier to give us more time in the early morning to track them.
During the lion search we had some nice sightings. Great scene with zebra, giraffe, warthogs, Impala. Eventually ken will post pictures. Yesterday one vehicle was charged by a big bull elephant in must. They were all new to safaris so that got their attention. Today right before we reached camp there he was walking down the road. You could smell him extremely well. No passing this big boy. So we had to wait until we could get to a more open area where we could go around. The herd of elephants knew he was coming and were trumpeting and obviously agitated. I am sure right now there is a lot of action going on with the herd. A bull in heat like this can really cause problems for the elephants
Wish us luck finding those Lions tomorrow.
