Spend a morning drive with us tracking lions in Thornybush Game Reserve ๐พ
It took about 2 1/2 hours (with a coffee break) but we eventually found the pride of lions tailing a huge herd of buffalo! ๐
What usually happens is they will follow the herd until it starts to get dark and then move in for the hunt.
What do you think about this style of game drive as opposed to simply driving from one sighting to the next?
We absolutely loved it and found it very immersive. We watched on in awe as our guide and tracker did their utmost to find the lions and were also able to learn from their expertise.
Along the way we did see some antelope, giraffe and hippo, but our goal for the morning was to find the lions - and Iโm exceedingly glad we did! ๐พ
