Thanks all! :-)

Still got a few to add and it's already the last day of the month and I'll be gone tomorrow on top of it. 0*\

On arrival day, the lions were hogging the area...

Mum came down with her three little ones after it had cooled down a bit.
(It had been mid-forties that day :shock: )

And they all got comfortable in the vicinity of the waterhole, with the cubs playing. O\/

Image

It was 8 lions in total: 2 females, 2 sub-adult males, 1 adult male, 3 cubs \O

These two dared the lions throughout the day, but the lazy cats didn't move. Just too hot. =O:

The next morning the lions were gone and everyone else found it safe again to come for a drink. O**

At night we were grace with brown hyenas visiting, but only got on shot:

Luckily they were still thirsty the next morning:

Image

Image

There were at least 3 different brownies, but certainly not 13 different ones like a fellow traveller had claimed to have seen some time before. =O:
