So yesterday afternoon. There was an impala kill by two female lions. The vultures came in and we had a great sighting of them flying in and out of the kill. A hyena turned up and grabbed a leg.

Then we had a different young male lion roaring at dusk. I love watching roaring the power they have is amazing. There are three young males here at Dulini and they chased out the older male. They do roar and communicate so that is good.

This morning they found two other female lions. When we arrived we could not see the lions but the other vehicle said the lions had flanked some waterbucks hoping for a kill. We sat quietly then suddenly thrashing in the bush and right in front of our vehicle (about 15 ft) a large male waterbuck came streaking across the road followed closely by two lions. They missed the kill.

We continued following the lions but lost them in thick bush. Later we were taking one more pass by the area our ranger thought they may be and we heard a loud noise. Our tracker said “that’s a kill”. It was really close, we got there when one lion was still suffocating a kudu. Fortunately the back of the animal was facing our vehicles so it was not an unpleasant sighting.

Sightings have been amazing. Not a lot of plains animals but we know we will see them at the other lodges.
