Coalitions of Kruger National Park

Throwback to 1997 at Satara!!
"No a great photo, but a good story: these two male lions were about 50 yards from the road and about 1.4 mile one of the Kruger rest camps - I forget which, but Satara was/is the lion capital, so maybe that. This was when we were going out for a late afternoon drive after checking in - when we came back an hour later they were still there, and there was a crush of cars stopped looking at them as they sauntered nonchalantly out of the grass and onto the road - we had the honour of having one of them piss against our real wheel! Bat that's another story: at this stage there was just us and a couple of other cars - one of which had a flat tyre, and had called out the AA, whose brave man was on the road replacing the wheel, looking back over his shoulder occasionally. At one point, the lions made a mock charge of about 20 meters - anyone who's watched lions knows that their acceleration is pretty good. The man's eye's went about the size and shape of saucers, but he stuck to his task, while the inhabitants of the car cheerily took photographs from the safety of their vehicle. Respect!"
