It was very misty when I travelled to Addo Park early one morning a few weeks ago. After entering the park in the south I soon came across this ellie crossing the road in front of me. I turned off my vehicle to watch him and to take in all the early morning sounds and aromas of the veld. It was then when I heard the roar of a lion in the distance. I immediately decided to head in that direction. I was not disappointed finding five lions lying in the tall grass. A lioness with her two young male cubs and two adult male lions. WOW what a sighting..

Male Lion lying alongside my vehicle

Here is a short video slideshow of one of the adult male lions coming alongside my vehicle, lying down and having a sleep
I spent a hour and a half there with the lions in the morning and when I returned there later in the afternoon on my way out of the park I still found them in the area and was able to spend more time with them. I will be posting more pics.
