Lions Part 1

On a recent day trip I was fortunate to see 5 of the 9 lion which are in the main game area in Addo. 2 were on a hillside quite a distance away, but Roy, Nomad & Gina were situated fairly close to the road in Wayne's Valley (that's the area just to the north of marker #27 on the park map). I was very excited because it was the first time I had managed to find Roy and Nomad (I still haven't figured out which male is which yet). They really are huge lions - particularly when you see the size of them compared to Gina O:V

Gina isn't small by any means... same size as any other adult lioness I've seen around other parks \O
