Josie had vanished into the bushes at a point where there wasn't much of a view up and down the road, so we moved around quite a lot to try and ensure we didn't miss her if she decided to come back a different way. When turning around during one of those moves she suddenly appeared out of nowhere... with cubs trundling along behind O\/ O\/ O\/ O/\ O/\

Image

It was one of those moments where patience and quite a bit of luck had paid off :-0 :-0
Josie was gently calling them as they made their way back towards the kill, but their route treated us to about 5 minutes of a fabulous sighting...

Eventually the cubs went charging up a hill with Josie and then off into the bush en-route to the buffalo kill O:V

It will be interesting to see what happens to these cubs as they are all male. I hope they don't get moved out the park for any reasons - it would be quite spectacular to see 3 big black-maned male lions moving together in Addo \O

Absolutely amazing seeing the buff charging down the firebreak, nice lens! :shock: ^Q^ X#X O/\ O\/

And brilliant cub shots, lovely light!
What is wrong with the blind lion then? -O-
