Lions of Sabi Sands

[Xiku_kutsu]

This morning we decided to head out looking for a leopard and cub around the Matshipiri River. But while tracking the cub, we came across a male leopard (Accipiter male). He was resting under a tree before slowly making his way towards a thicket.

Word got out on the radio that the lion cubs that we had seen yesterday was spotted, and so we made our way to that sighting. But this time 4 younger cubs were in the presence of the 3 older cubs. 2 adults (Kambula Pride) were also resting with them.

Not very far up the Sand River we entered into a sighting with the sub-adults of the pride (Kambula Pride). They were resting on the banks of the river in the shade as the day started to heat up. After viewing them for a bit, a herd of elephants made their way into the river for a drink and so we left the sleeping lions to go view the elephants.
