Yes, I know. And even though I haven't done my count properly, I think we saw more males than females on this trip. At least for the first 15 lions.
A first for us... But every resident (read: camp assistants) had already mentioned the need for females on our previous trips. O-/

Glad we found a cub for everyone O:V Thanks for all the comments \O

We were the first car at the lion sighting and had them to ourselves for about 10 minutes. A crowd was building up so we continued on Marie se Draai. We suddenly could you the chanting of a PCG and found five of them in a tree and a jackal nearby, which meant there was honey badger around. In fact there were two and they crossed the road but not before we got some pics O/\ O\/
