Invasion of the Lions!
Over the last few weeks we have been invaded by lions not only in taking over our camp, drinking from the pool but also keeping us awake at night with their roaring. Samurai (the male in the pictures below) was on the floodplain in front of camp yesterday with a young female from the Santawani Pride. That night the other male who he prowls the area with, joined him and they continued to keep most of us awake the whole night with their shouting. It appears that with added males in the area towards Moremi has caused these males to spend more time in our area and may also have led to an increase in roaring, which has thus led to less sleep!!
Samurai gazing at the sky, looking for vultures! Love it when they look up at the sky scanning for raptors.

What great pics. I would love to be kept awake by roaring lions haha... I know you probably arent ejoying it all that much but it sounds so much more preferable to an overworked furnace and random cars driving by my house. :) You are such a talented photographer. I would put your watermark over more of the pictures so that no one can steal them!! :) <3 you
