Daily Synopsis.

The drives returned to the lions in the morning to view the sighting in full daylight and they arrived to 

find an additional female and cub had joined the pride at the carcass.  Marka’s vehicle was lucky to 

see the lions alert and active, even witnessing a family squabble between the newly arrived cub and 

the dominant male.  As is often the case, the mother intervened and calmed things down before 

anyone got hurt!

The afternoon drive was unfortunately a little quiet in terms of the larger mammals numbers, but there 

was plenty on offer in terms of birds, reptiles and other fascinating species.  Marka did return to the 

lions with his new guests (no further lions had joined the meal), whilst Herold and Shadrack set off 

in search of rhino and duly delivered a great sighting so it was certainly no disappointment!

The day was wrapped up with a fantastic menu prepared by Eugenia and the evening was prolonged by 

a stubborn buffalo bull – insistent on having his evening meal between the veranda and Roan room. 

It just meant a final glass of wine and slice or two of chesse!
