Now we skip a few days and it is November 1st 2016, this sighting was special because of the view on them and the large number of lion. At the end of this story another video we made.
Again close to Sirheni Bushcamp along the S56
We were driving on the S56 and just passed Sirheni Bushcamp. Small road and coming around one of the many “corners” we saw this pride again.
And also this time they had a kill
-
-
They were enjoying their meal and like many times a bit lazy.
-
-
Because it was a bit similar here as previous story I will not post too many pics of this part of the sighting. At this location we counted 18 lions.
-
-
Relaxed, sleeping, walking, socializing …. TILL the moment Elephants arrived with some little ones and they really did not like the lions. As you can see they were approaching…
-
-
It was impossible to make more pictures at that moment because some of the elephants were running towards the lions and we were almost in the same positions so we had to move too.
The lion were running too all directions, the cubs were afraid and hiding and then running to mommy or aunty ....
We followed the road a bit and turned left at the next “junction” and wowwwwwwww… what a nice and wonderful surprise we got there…. What a view….
-
-
We never had such a view on lions. It almost looked like a LION-SPA… beach, water, rocks…
-
-
They were really everywhere and this was just a few hundred meters from the others so same pride…. We found out later on. Lion on the rocks, lion drinking, lion on the beach, lion on the hill…. Counting was easy and we came to 24 at this place… 42 all together, incredible
-
-
And, just for us … a private show
Even from this point I could not capture them all together but this was the view we had
-
-
A bit higher on the hill several others were walking and laying down.
-
-
We were enjoying this view for some time… probably we never see this kind of view again.
Cliffhanger…. On this last picture of Part II heads up and ears straight…. What did they see / hear and what was going to happen ? Next time , Part III you will find out…. smileeeeeeeee

Watch the video to get the feeling to be almost into the pride.
