We had another good day in the Kruger Park. I am so grateful for the day trips we are able to take in Limpopo. Four months in one place is not something I'm used to, even if it is idyllic.
We stopped to watch two hyenas and some jackal pulling apart a piece of meaty bone and then only did we spot the pride of about 8 lion on a carcass in the bush. They were a bit far away for photos.
Then a little further along we saw about 40 vultures circling and landing on a female kudu carcass. Based on our last sightings of vultures on cheetah kills, we think it must have been killed by 2 male cheetah and abandoned shortly before we arrived on the scene.
Our third "kill" for the day was this old lone male lion "hiding" under a very small bush to protect his meal from other predators. Older males who get kicked out of the pride are very vulnerable because they have to hunt alone and are under constant attack by the younger prides who are defending their territory.
Here are a selection of my photos from the day. I will add a few from Johan later..
