No trip to the wild is complete without seeing the No trip to the wild is complete without seeing the most majestic and powerful felines - The Lion.

While we were confident to see a whole load of lions at Kruger, this wasn't to come true. We ended up seeing Cheetahs and Leopards but Lions seem to elude us.

And this changed when we reached Skukuza and then the floodgates opened. We had great sightings of the Lions walking on the road, sleeping on the road at night, relaxing on the cold morning sand at lower bridge crossing and more. 🦁
