Thanks, and I hope everyone is enjoying the festive season. X#X

This morning I received a message about a pride of Lions on private property, on which I have traversing rights. I made my way there, but when I got there there was a large Elephant breeding herd in the area. They looked uncomfortable and were heading away from the waterhole.

While they were moving away, I grabbed the opportunity to take a few shots...

Once they had moved away, I started searching for the Lions. I found them deep in the thickets. I could only get these two shots, the rest of them were way to deep...
