We are now on our way home after 4.5 months of traveling. Lion Sands lived up to it's name. We had two different lion family encounters with the Charleston pride and their 3 cubs. We got so close and got to watch them interact with each other. Last night was rhino night. We first encountered 2 "teenagers " playing at fighting. Landon, our ranger, estimated they were about 5 and 7 years old. They were pushing and shoving and all of a sudden, they decided to see if we would play. They both came right up to the Land Rover on my side. We could have reached out and touched them. They were just looking at us like...don't you want to play. If that wasn't enough, we went around the corner and found 4 rhinos doing the same thing!!!

The last morning we encountered the lions again walking down the road. All of them!! 3 cubs, 4 lionesses 2 males and got to watch them for a long time.
There is just too much to tell so I'll quit now. I will post pictures when we get home.

We really enjoyed traveling with Helen, Jerry, and Linda and Ron. Now that everyone else has left, we have to make our own way to the check-in counter tomorrow evening to start the long trip home.
