Daily Synopsis

Johannes had a fair day considering he was the only guide out from Motswari – Argyle male was still at his kill, although he did drop it into the rocks below the tree where he had been feeding.

The highlight of the day was no doubt seeing the Machaton Pride of lions again as they rested off their fat bellies near Machaton Dam.

Here are some of Johannes’s photos from the day...
