8 October 2018 - A tense hour at Rathlogo Hide.
We popped in at Rathlogo Hide and some kind folk showed us some lion lying under some bushes.
First we saw this male and female watching some approaching zebra.
The zebra were very nervous but wanted to drink some water.
If you look closely at this photo you can see two females under the brown bush on the left and the male and female if you look straight up between the two zebra under the green bush.
Every one in the hide had their index finger hovering over the cameras trigger button.
Nothing happened and the zebra trotted off back from where they had come.
Next, a kudu cow which had been drinking walked directly towards the lioness.
One could have cut the tension with a knife.
Both stood still for what seemed an eternity, all trigger fingers were now aching.
All of a sudden the kudu took off at right angles and disappeared into the bush.
One could a hear collective sigh of disappointment or was it relief??????
It was now 12:30 and we decided to head back to camp for lunch and nap.
we would come back later in the afternoon.
