What grand mousebird pics, Peej!

Marloth is such a pleasure in winter, we were there too yesterday.

And a "proper" live lion sighting!

And your idea of an excursion down to Gezantombi turned out to be excellent Young healthy lionesses

Agreed Lis, she looked like a very healthy young cat $\O$

Nice! I wonder whether the lions are still at large in Marloth

Indeed a very much alive set of lions $\O$

No, the lions are gone, and in fact there are quite regular hoaxes anyway, it seems!

Sat 22nd June contd

As we sat watching the lioness by the water, more and more lion suddenly started appearing $O\/$ $O\/$

We realised that it must be the entire Vurhami pride moving in. We were really thrilled with our lucky timing $O/\$ $O/\$

There were lion moving all over the place, so it was difficult to work out how many there were, but the kids were sure there were at least 15

Some were coming up from the water, whilst others came down to meet them or just parked off in the shade

Many of the lion were still quite young, but this lioness looked to be the adult-in-charge

The meanderings continued for a while between shade and water...

Eventually the gang seemed to settle into a couple of shady spots and we figured that they would all be asleep pretty quickly

Here's a video of some of the activity

No traffic on the H4-1 at a giraffe kill

I may be wrong, but I think this giraffe hit by a car/delivery vehicle because at 1st there were no predators on it.

How did it smell, maybe that cleared the traffic jam

Great male lion sighting on the H4-2

A relaxing early morning at Marloth, I would have been pacing around

, but still a good lion sighting at Gezantombi/Vurhami bridge dirt loop

Wow, and then the rest of the lions pulled in.

Lucky timing that

Exquisite, Peej!

I wonder if it was a pride or part of one

There were lots of lions, but they were all very young ones

In any case a great sighting

$\O$
