2 Oct. 2010 - Lower Sabie – Part 1
We awoke to our last full day in Kruger, full of anticipation. We had decided to head down to Nkuhlu for another breakfast and would then plan the rest of our route from there. Sunset Dam had the usual suspects, but there wasn’t much else around on Eloff Street that morning. We eventually saw some cars stopped up ahead and approached slowly, hoping for leopard. No leopard, just his breakfast, which looked very fresh.
We turned off at the N’watimhiri Causeway – a place we have often seen lion. Johanna spotted a “big bird” which turned out to be a Burchell’s Coucal.
Just after the causeway there was a car stopped. They called us forward and told us that 3 lions had crossed the road about 15 mins before, and that they could still hear them calling. We turned off our car and listened…..there was that unmistakable grunting!! But we could here they were moving further away, so we moved on. We carried on to Nkuhlu, not seeing anything on the way. One of the LS morning drive vehicles was at Nkuhlu and we chatted to the driver for a while – they had also seen nothing.
We got busy preparing our breakfast and feasted like kings, while trying to dodge all the sweeping hornbills and sneaky vervets! -O
Some birds that we found there.
This little croc was enjoying the morning sun.
From there we made our way down and onto the N'watimhiri Causeway. After driving for some time, we turned a corner and saw it in the road...that unmistakable figure of a male lion!
As we got closer we saw that he was joined by one female and another male! 
He walked down the road with the wind blowing throwing his mane – what a lovely beast!
He then, very thoughtfully, flopped down right next to us with not a care in the world!!
Of course we were now watching both sides of the road – family rated on the left, PG 16 on the right
. The traffic was building up now and His Highness was blocking the road, yet we still had the prefect spot! 
We soon found another traffic jam, and managed to find 4 lions in the shade
, but they were not very easy to see and no good for any pics. We sat there for a while, but the heat eventually became unbearable so we headed back to camp for a dip in the pool!
