Lion kill
What an amazing experience this was !
We were walking deep into the bush (studying the impact of elephants on vegetation) when we saw vultures circling. We decided to check it out, but carefully, as vultures often follow poachers.
Then we saw a tree full of vultures and we could smell the carcass so we stopped, only to see a male lion lying next to this kob, just 15m from where we were standing ! When the lion saw us, he was off in an instant.
