Africa Wild

At the water point is a parade, Ostriches, Red-hartebeests, Jackals. We get a nice sunset and can eat in peace! We hook our cameras, so that they are ready for use in darkness .... 3 Jackals will make us a visit.

4:30 ... Rrrroooowwwwww a huge roar, a magnificent Lion arrives ... there is no water new tub... not fonctional
He waits a moment, then goes marking his territory.
A Jackal trying to pull a few drops of water to the tap, then Gonolek wakes up, and in a big noise ... I can still hear his breath , the Lion passes near the balcony, he returns to the waterhole ... there is still no water.
He waits patiently.
Jackals and Oryx daren't approach.
