Africa Wild

It was only then that we noticed that we had another, younger Silver Eye in the Kgalagadi

The lions carried on into the distance

Are you certain that this is a young male? From the photos I would have actually thought it was an old one .
And Silver Eye only died in August anyway. So, couldn't it be himself anyways?

Finally lions Beautiful light and some great pic

What beautiful lions, Gavin!

But that deformed eye creeps me out!

Hi Mel

Yes possibly an old male, but I don't think it is Silver Eye as the eye is not as silver as his. We have seen quite a few one-eyed lions in the park over the past few years
But I am not an authority on the matter

So, I searched my own photos for Silver Eye. Now I'm pretty sure, you saw the "original"

Great I stand corrected


Good to know.



Thanks for the heads up

Thanks everyone for your comments



I don’t think we went out for a last evening drive, as I can see no pictures taken in the early evening, (and we don’t have any notes of the last two days)

We most probably stayed in camp and enjoyed our last evening of bliss before hitting civilization again

I did find a sunset picture


As well as a few of the campsite in early evening
