Lionesses on a Buffalo Kill

By Nicci – Lodge Manager | 20 August 2009

The Lions had been spotted the previous day by Beavan who had initially seen the vultures hovering in the sky about 5km’s SW from Horseshoe. He decided to follow the vultures and sure enough – he was rewarded with three lionesses on a buffalo kill – about 60m from the road and with an unobstructed view. When I returned the next day with all our guests… the three lionesses were still there, although there was a young male who had joined the group. He must have been there the whole time but had not been seen the day before. What was amazing to see was that all the lions were in such fantastic condition. They were truly a sight to behold!
