So after 32 years of going to Kruger Park ..I have finally witnessed or experienced my first kill!
I have dreamt of this and always secretly hoped that if I ever have the privelege of seeing a kill it must be over quickly!
And my dream came true
4 lions ..on a poor warthog
That pig didn't even had time to "skrik"
Let's make a poll..have you ever witnessed a kill?
1 Yes
2 No
3 Not interested
Lights..camera...action...Kill!

Not in Kruger, but in the KTP
Five times (not joking!) cheetahs on springboks and lions on a wildebeest once.

God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Re: Lights..camera...action...Kill!
Welcome back Twigga.
I've seen 4 kills:
Lions killing a warthog (Kruger)....lots of squealing!
Wild dog killing an impala (Kruger)....not nice to see!
Leopard killing a wildebeest (Pilanesberg)...actually over quite quickly.
Lion killing an impala (Kruger)...seen from a distance so not too gory.

Yes ! Twice (only) :
Lions hunting Zebras, Etosha, August 2012
Lions hunting Zebras, from Lower Sabie Deck, December 2018 viewtopic.php?f=35&t=431&start=160#p432586
And we arrived just after the kill on two other occasions :
Lions on a Buffalo near the Tamboti Camp access road (July 2016) they were still dragging the buffalo to the shade ; and Cheetahs on a Springbok in the KTP near Twee Rivieren (May 2017).
