The S139 didn’t produce any major action with only the odd local popping up, but it was still very hot so we didn’t expect too much animal movement yet, however we did stop and watch a Bateleur in the riverbed for a while and then the weir produced a heron, but no kingfisher locals that we were hoping for.

The S114 down to James’s Pan was also very quiet and nothing was drinking or hanging around the Pan/waterhole, so we had time to spare, therefore we decided to take a drive down the S119 and, if time permitted, possibly continue on that route to the S25 and back to Biyamiti.
About 300m down the S119 Albert chirped
“There was something a little further back, please reverse”
I’m not certain how she spotted the sleeping lion cub, because only an ear was visible, but it must be those young eyes.

I pulled over to the side of the road, switched off and we waited.
Around 5 minutes later another car arrived and the junior lion woke up and started looking around. Minutes later the cub started calling and walking all different directions in a semi distressed state. I knew that the lion pride in this area had 8 cubs (From updates, I believe only possibly 6 are alive now), so I assumed that this junior got left behind or was sleeping while the others moved off.
