When Japhet and his guests left the camp, the mission was to chance a rhino in the reserve. They drove into one of the popular rhino area and as they combed here and there the spotter saw some movement at a distance and asked the ranger to stop for a confirmation.
Everyone expected to hear a rhino but instead the spotter said it was a pride of lions sorrounding a buffalo. On arriving on the scene they found a battle that going on and everyone looked determined to win! The buffalo was severly injured and badly bleeding but still managed to keep the pride away.
The updates later was that they managed to bring down the bull the following day!!
