I´m a big fan of self drive safaris in national parks where you have to work for the sightings (and get the reward) and count with the help of other drivers, but safaris in private reserves also have some perks, and the possibility to get really close to animals wherever they are is the biggest one, and thanks to that we spent some unforgetable moments, some of the best with the lion pride with the 5 cubs (2 of them 3 month old and the other 3 were 5 month old) and the 2 lionesses, the male was a little apart and the picture I posted was taken in a brief moment we saw him with his eyes open, he seems to have a tough life

A few more pictures, starting with my favourite antelope which we had seen only once before in our fisrt trip to KNP:

Some nice landscapes in Mashatu with some baobabs, which were a first for us.



Looks comfy up there

And back to the pride and the cubs, we just couldn´t get enough of watching them:
