Nkuhulu in Skukuza


“morning I will never forget
lol
Putting it into context:

I leave Skukuza when the camp gates open at 6am ... then I see a shadow from a distance (about 100 m) appear from the side of the road and walk in my opposite direction. I got closer and saw a fairly young male lion. I can’t believe it! For about ten minutes I followed him on his morning rounds, sometimes side by side with him. Then, in the distance, I saw another car stopped with 2 other lions beside it. I got closer and tried to film the 3 lions, who had now joined up, from both the front and the back. Then two more arrived, making a total of 5 lions. There were 4 cars in all. The lions then went to the side of the road and several of the cars drove off. But the lions returned to the road 5 minutes after leaving it. I was in the front row, with all 5 of them lined up in front of my car for about ten minutes! I was at a loss for words, it was so emotionally intense! The sun was already up but still quite low, letting the soft colours of the morning shine through the trees and illuminate the lions. “
