One already had enough from the cars and moved already into the bushes on the roadside eying the cars suspiciously.
Due to the early morning one was for sure still sleepy although lions are in fact sleepy the whole day long.....
We noticed that the road was a bit wet and it obviously rained a bit over the night and also over the day it fell a couple of rain drops but only in form of drizzle although that area needed far more rain.
“I see you”
Needless to say that Timon was again in his element and took picture after picture of a pensive male
and portraits of the yawning one. We carried a bit forward to let either pass other cars or to also allow others a bit farer back in the queue to admire the lions but although the camp was quite full everyone behaved very well at that sighting and all passengers in the cars had the opportunity in taking a couple of shots from the Majesties.
Due to the overcast weather it was still far darker than it normally is at that time of the day so we were in fact happy that there was not that much activity between the lions as otherwise the shots would have come out blurred.
As it was only a question of time until the lions might move deeper into the bushes away from the road we also carried on as we got our shots – At least we were once again more than happy that we in fact had left camp prior to the Mananga trail and were happy that we were allowed to admire those males that close.
We even had still time in exploring the S100 after the excitement nearly at the gate but same was disappointingly quiet that dim morning and so we came forward quite fast until we had to stop for a lone lioness who
looked a bit agitated and obviously was searching for other pride members.
Same was looking permanently into each direction and even came closer to the road
and same carried on walking steadily forward into one direction.
We meanwhile noticed a bit further down the street another car who stopped as well and then we also realized the two other lionesses who were busy in rushing towards the other one.
