We went out on safari early as usual.  We didn't see anything special in the beginning but suddenly we got a call from another car. They had found lions! Hamilton drove faster than he ever had done and it was a very bumpy ride. We reached the lions. It was a couple of females, two children and, hiding in the bushes, one male.  They started to walk against the car and they past only a few meters away.  The male looked very tired. Hamilton told us that lions could be like 10-12 years old but this one was about 18 years old! He probably didn't have much time left. The lion children was very playful and rolled around in the mud together. Now we have  seen four of the big five and it is only leopard left.

 

We went back to the lodge, had lunch, chilled and then it was time for safari again. This time we saw elephants, buffalos, rhinos and lions again, but no leopard.  With only one safari here at Mohlabetsi left, i'm starting to loose hope. If we are ver, very lucky we might see one but I really don't think so. Well, we'll see tomorrow...
