Guestbook |
Each outing truly seemed to outdo the previous one. For example, on our sixth (and final) time out we saw the lion with his pride. The first night we had seen him, a solitary and terribly impressive gentleman, who three times roared as he padded deliberately on in spite of our proximity. The next day we saw four lionesses and their cubs-----quite a long, leisurely "soaking in" of the scene as their bellies were totally full and the cubs had given over almost entirely to digesting. The last morning they were all together at a watering hole with the lion majestic and apparently leisurely from his vantage point above them. The cubs were busily engaged in various important projects like pulling reeds from the water and toting them around!
All the arrangements went beautifully. We had a marvelous time and experience and felt "looked after" by you all along the way. Thanks!!!
