The day started well with 3 male lions crossing a small river straight towards us! They were the 3 lions we had seen feeding on the buffalo – so we went to check out what was happening at the carcass. 6 more lions had come into feed on the buffalo, obviously having chased the 3 young males off. The amazing morning light meant the cameras were working overtime! A female leopard was spotted not long after we left the lions and buffalo, and she was equally as obliging as the lions. She put on a great show, ending up nestled comfortably in a large tree. We found a pair of wattled cranes as well as sighting lions on 2 more occasions. The leopard from the morning was more active in the late afternoon and, as has become the norm, there were many herds of elephants out and about. The day ended on on a real high with a late night spotting of an african wild cat!
