When Ferdinard and his guest left the camp the mission was to chance a rhino in Maasai Mara Game Reserve. They drove into one of the popular rhino areas in the reserve and as they combed  here and there the spotter saw some movements at a distance and asked the ranger to stop for a confirmation.

Everyone in the car expected to hear its a rhino but the spotter informed that it was buffalo surrounded by lions. That seemed more interesting and the drive to the spot was instant. There were six lioness and a bull buffalo that have been fighting for unknown time and the battled was not nearing the end as everyone looked determined to win. The war would go for a while and then stop and kept on repeating until it was time to get back to the camp. The bull buffalo was severely injured and bleeding alot but still looked strong. The guest forgot the rhino search and confirmed later that it was nothing to compare with.

The following day was when they managed to bring the buffalo down and enjoyed the meal but we missed this last action.
