Lions of Sabi Sands

[T I N O]

Sons of the Charleston males

On our way back to Earth Lodge we found tracks of lions, so we decided to attempt a quick follow up before returning to the lodge for breakfast. Ruan and his tracker Donald decided to track on foot where they found more tracks of the lions heading further west into our reserve. They returned to their vehicle and made their way around the area and were duly rewarded when they found two young males with a young female on a buffalo carcass they managed to take down. They were all lying next to the kill, panting heavily as they had had their fair share of meat already. 

Vultures were already busy gathering in the area and with these lions being in the territory of other lions, they will try and finish this kill as quickly as possible and move on, as they know vultures diving down will attract the attention of nearby predators that might lead to trouble for them.
