躲避水牛的反击:
This morning’s game drive led, unexpectedly, to a pair of lionesses sneaking around in the dappled shade only metres from a big herd of buffalo. In the left corner, the Ross Breakaway lionesses lay in silence, looking eagerly through the thicket, and in the right corner, a large herd of buffalo grazed lazily in the sunlight. The buffalo were oblivious to the stealthy presence of the lions, and continued to mill around without a care in the world.
What started out of a buffalo sighting just outside the entrance to nThambo Tree Camp, turned into the game drive highlight as it became obvious that these buffalo were being stalked by the Ross Breakaway lionesses. The cats lay secretively in the bush and almost got away unspotted, but the guides in these parts are expert game watchers and word soon spread that the herd of buffalo was not alone!
Only about 50m away from the feeding herd, the lions lay and watched carefully. At first they were in separate positons, both well hidden from sight, but after a while one lioness got up carefully and padded over to her sister where they greeted and groomed one another briefly before locking eyes on the target once more.
