I was viewing some lions, sleeping in the the reeds beside the Sand River at Mala Mala when a pack of Cape hunting dogs showed up. They ran onto the sand bank where the lions were but continued past the lions, which they did not see, but the lions noticed them.
The Cape hunting dogs went down the sand bank towards the river, looking to cross. Suddenly the female lion got up and started stalking them.

The dogs still had no idea of the lion up on the bank as she started running towards them.

She caught the alpha male, mauling him and playing around with him in the water for about 20 minutes before eventually killing him.
