Great last morning at Makanyi. LIONS Highlight was finding a female and male lion that we thought were mating. You never have to wait over 20 minutes to see the deed. Well this female kept coming up to him, using every possible way to get him to cooperate. Finally he got up and limped to the water to drink he had an injury on one of his back legs.

We also saw the lion called stumpy somehow she lost her tail. She is old but still the leader of the pride.
Tiny baby rhino with a mother with a very large horn.
Interaction with two male lions and with zebras.
THEN OFF TO MALA MALA
Started off with a choice between looking at the elephants or a large group of giraffe. We decided on the giraffes and found they were looking at a leopard.
