Lion Sands is looking great after the fire two years ago. The refurbishments are a huge improvement. All three of our rangers are good. Hope we can get them for the next group.

Highlights the first afternoon on safari at Lion Sands.
Elephant day! Saw several herds of elephants with little babies. One of the babies put his feet on the back of another baby elephant. How much cuter can it get. The other highlight of the morning was a young male lion and three female lions on a buffalo kill that happened about when we landed. The buffalo was in water and the lions faces were covered with mud. Never seen that before usually on land. Lots of growling between the lions. Another young male was close by but no mud so he was not invited to the party. After we left two rhinos came to drink at the water near the lions. Great start to Lioness One.

Highlights the first morning.
Giraffe day! Giraffe everywhere of every age. In fact two different sets of young male giraffe’s necking (fighting with their necks). Ken got a great video but internet not strong enough to post that from here. We also were tracking wild dogs, tracks everywhere. We found a large female and young male hyena. We followed the hyenas for quite a while hoping they would lead us to the dogs but they eventually went off into thick Bush. A leopard was spotted by another vehicle but they lost him quite quickly. Finished the day with Ground Horn Bills. Very big birds with a red face. One of my favorite things to see that are not easy to find.
