S.A Day Three

Back up at 5:00am and out on our next drive, these early morning are killing me. We get news that a pack of lions is in are area and our driver dumi speeds of down these dirt tracks to be the first on the scene yet again, there are six lions with another three older males following them about thirty foot behind, they are the new adolescent lions that have t now leave the pride and go and make there own. They get within about 10 foot of the jeep on my side just typical especially when the mother stops right by the side of me and just stares straight at me. On we go and more elephants and cheaters, stop for a coffee and find a warthogs scull from a previous kill, then back to the lodge for breakfast and a sleep before lunch. This time I do make lunch and in the evening we go for our game drive after which we stop in the middle of knower where they have set up a camp with lights and a big fire, Bar and a massive BBQ all the guards are wondering around with guns and torches making sure none of the animals come into our camp evidently this type of camp attracts the lions cheaters and leopard as the can smell the meat cooking from miles around, we finally get a lift back to the lodge and get to bed around 1:00am
