Our idea of Adventure Travel is probably tamer than many, but we are having a very exciting time!
Sunrise of our first morning drive from Satara we found lions down, interested in a herd of buffalo who were approaching them. Were we to witness another "Battle at Kruger", made famous on youtube ?
As it turns out, they stopped short of each other but what they did do was very interesting.
(we have tried twice to load a video, will try again when we get to the US 0
After one of the female lions chased off the buffalo, she joined the male and another lion in moving off a short distance to rest.
Then, from stage right, a line of buffalo returned led very strongly by the big bull with his head out and sniffing. When the line of buffalo were almost to the lions, the bull rared around and reversed course, with his herd soon running in reverse in front of him.
So interesting to get to witness this! We are so thankful!
Lion Cubs at a Kill
Over the next several days we were to witness lion behavior around a kill very up close and personal. For more stories and pictures about what was a very unique experience for us, please go to http://www.traveljournals.net/travelers/rmalone/journals/3615/ .
