Return of our pride.
At first we heard them roaring in the night shortly before dawn and most of us thought that they were very far away as the sound is usually carried over a long distance during the night. But indeed they were much closer as we came to realize when the guests started their early morning game drive. They had barely driven for three minutes when the young pride was spotted on some rocky area nearby. As it had rained the previous evening, the grass was wet and that was why these lions were mostly on the rocks. We hadn’t seen them in the vicinity of the camp for almost three weeks and we were glad that they have returned. This is our pride which consists of two young males with six females and two cubs.
