Mwamba

Our room here is fabulous and we already feel at home, relief we both feel leaving Kianga, lovely as it was there was two too many prima Donna’s

After afternoon tea we head off with Phill and Goodson, our new escort, and head off to see the remains of a Buffalo kill from a couple of days back. When we arrived there it was simply a skull remaining, and a couple of Vultures. On that basis we started to check out the surrounding area to see where the Lions where and soon discovered them. Getting into a better position Lainey suddenly called out realising one of the Lionesses was so close to the track Phill nearly ran her over…what can I say, it’s she never batted an eyelid!

Moving round some bushes we discovered a Pride of eleven Lionesses and a young Lion sprawled out on the grasses very soon joined by White Backed and White Headed Vultures both squabbling over the Lions ‘business’, all so fabulous we decided to stay and partake of our Sundowner and enjoy the scene rather than head off

Whilst having our realised this was the Pride that lost their Cubs earlier which was a real shock but the reality is they have no choice but to ‘move on’ and we can only hope they start a new litter as certainly the Cubs they had, and we suspect, four have now gone, eventually we had to start back

We enjoyed a fabulous sundown and on our way encountered Elephant Shrews, Cavet Cat , Great Eagle Owl and a Genet

We enjoyed a lovely meal only spoiled by two Americans guys who, I’m convinced, are closely related to Beavis & ButheadLæs mere
