On our way back to camp we bumped into male lion, completing our sighting of the big five in one drive. He crossed the boundary and we headed home, on the way we found a small flapped-neck chameleon, expertly spotted by Guide Chene.

This morning, our final drive was very exciting. We found some hyenas active close to the lodge and the bush braai site, sniffing about. We made our way west and heard a lion calling softly. We though it was a female. We then found some drag marks and followed them into the block. There we found a male lion who had stolen an impala kill, presumably from a leopard. He was gnawing on the scraps and suddenly began roaring. He roared gut wrenchingly next to us. This was a first for all of our guests. A stunning way to end this trip. The golden light was fantastic.
