A great morning! A giraffe had died somewhat mysteriously. He had no trauma and his footprints indicated he was walking along and just fell,over dead, possibly illness or possibly he managed to make contact with the power lines above him. In any case this was cause for much activity. We headed over , passing dozens of vultures, apparently waiting their turn. with the carcass. We expected to find hyenas feeding on the giraffe but rather we came upon a lion feasting. In the bush all around this spectacle were lots of hyenas. Someone counted 20+! Our vehicle didn't see that many, maybe 12 or so. Someone spotted another lion in the grass and the speculation was that the hyenas did not try to run off the feeding lion because they were afraid of what the other lion would do. Anyway we moved on in search of a leopard. Sadly we could not find her so gave up. Breakfast was lovely, set up for us in the bush. Resting now before our evening game drive
