Drive 9 4-8.30pm

  We spend 1.5 hours searching for the big guys, but there are slim pickings. In between of course we spot many other interesting birds and beasts. Finally - Lions!! WE come across 6 females, grandma, daughters and granddaughters all lolling in the shade under small trees. Obviously well fed already they roll around like house cats, in amusing positions, sitting on one another and being swatted away by moms. Quite amusing to see this again at about 20 feet away, and they are not perturbed a long as we all act as one unit in the bush trucks, no sudden movement or noise. 
  We search for the two males we saw previously close to home with no luck. But next morning Jonny finds their tracks going right through our camp that night. Good thing we are not allowed out of our cabins at night!
