Camp Sandibe Day Two - PM

Food, food and more food. After a rest period we had high tea at 3:30 which include some great biscuits and some lemon curd sauce. Then we were off on our evening drive looking for a pride of lions that had brought down a giraffe earlier in the day.




It was a fairly long drive to get there, 1.5 to 2 hours depending on what we saw and stopped for There were more impalas and a few giraffes which are magnificant.












We did find the lion pride but they were no longer eating. One male lion was drinking water and 1 was walking away from the water into the bush. When the first lion headed into the bush we decided to follow a distance behind. As we drove down the path we found him lying in the roadway, such as it was. We took some pictures and watched for a few minutes.









When we started the engine again and as we moved toward the lion he moved out of our way. As we round the bush path there were 3 females and 2 cubs in front of us and the other male a few feet further on. There were 3 other trucks around the lions and there did not seem to be any problems at all. It was very entertaining.
















Then it was too dark to gake pictures so we headed home for the long drive. Back to the heated bed and sleep and early morning drive.
