While photographing in the rain isn't the most fun, it can sometimes yield interesting results. This group of lions was composed of 2 large females and 4 sub adults. They were located on the S29.


If you look closely you can see some of the Zebra kill that they were feeding on in the 4th photo.

This was our last day in the park and by the time we left at noon, we were able to photograph 27 lions. Bottom line is - don't let the rain keep you in camp!

Ha ha.. This is actually fun to see. To see these wild cats so calm and peaceful is something so rare to watch. This is the best way by which one can watch for these cats in their natural way.

Nice sighting, Mario and I love going out in the rain because you can get some unusual shots. I like pic 3 it shows you just how wet the lions cubs are and 4 because of the kill in the back ground. Great sighting and lovely pics Bob.

"It's 768 pages of the most amazing information. It consists of, well, everything really. Photography info...area info...hidden roads..special places....what they have seen almost road by road. Where to stay just outside the Park...camp information. It takes quite a lot to impress me but I really feel that this book, which was 7 years in the making, is exceptional."            - Janey Coetzee, founder of CAROK (Camps and Roads of Kruger)  South Africa
