Lions

We saw lion prides at all three camps. At King's Pool we watched a pride stalk a leopard and chase it up a tree. At Jao we chased after a group of very unhappy lionesses with cubs, that had just surprised a walking safari. And at Little Mombo, there were lions everywhere...we stopped counting after 27.
