The following morning we left camp at gate opening and headed down the river road towards the hide again .
We stopped to watch the sunrise and get some shots
Some other vehicles came zooming past obviously in a hurry to find something to view
We pulled off and had barely gone 500m went around a corner the two vehicles were a few hundred meters up the road and SO yelled out STOP. And there on the side of the road was some more Lions
They had been sleeping under some bushes for the night and started to wake up .
Slowly they seemed to keep appearing out of the bush and wandering off into a drainage area in the bushes at one stage we thought they were hunting something but could not be sure as we could not see into the dense bushes .
We had been joined by one other vehicle and each had a great view of them for some time before they all vanished .We waited a while and searched up and down the road but there was no signs of them anymore so carried on our morning drive .
We spotted a funny scruffy bird no idea of the ID
A Brown headed Kingfisher
and a Buff that may have had a run in with the Lions or another Buff
The S118 was quiet so we decided to head towards Berg En Dal .
