I made good use of my super-zoom & waited for the lions to peek out from behind the bushes. This particular female lion had been “collared” so the scientists could study her movements.
There were 2 little cubs, but they mostly stayed behind their momma and behind the bush. This little guy was a bit curious about us & came over our way to check us out.
He was too cute- he stayed a while & then decided we weren’t very interesting & went back to his nap.
While at Lion Sands, we were fed 7 times a day! Two of these meals included a snacks while out on game drive. In the morning, after about 2 hours of game drive, we’d pull over & set up a picnic of coffee, tea, juice, smoothies, yogurt, cereal, muffins, pastries, fruit and much more.
The afternoon snack was usually right around sunset & we’d be treated to a full bar and some more yummy treats.
After our first full day of game drives, we were treated to a surprised dinner in the bush.
They’d moved the whole kitchen & dining area out into the middle of the bush, and we dined by candlelight around a campfire.
Our guide stayed with us as we ate a family-style dinner, and she answered our questions about animals and growing up in Africa.
GOOD NEWS OF THE DAY: Going to see Aerosmith tonight!
