Lions of Sabi Sands

[Spalea]

" We decided to head back to the area where the four N’waswishaka male lions and Southern Pride female were seen earlier yesterday. The males and female were interacting, allowing for a wonderful sighting.  The males were showing a lot of interest in the female, sniffing her urine and using their vomeronasal organs to test the receptivity of the female. "

" It was a very cold start to the morning as the clouds had set in overnight and the wind having a very icy feel, so we were fortunate to come across this pride of lions hunkering down in a slightly more thick area escaping the cold breeze. With signs that they had recently fed, we were sure that they wouldn’t move any time soon, until a small herd of impala got their attention, showing the true opportunistic behaviour of predators. "
