Lioness hunting blue wildebeest
by Dustin Van Helsdingen
(Rustenburg)
Friday, 3 April 2015, my wife,son and I have been spending time in Pilanesberg National Park since 06:00. The morning provided us with special sightings including the famous Amarula (bull elephant) and a lion pride which included two males, two females and two cubs at Rathlogo Dam hide.
At first I only saw the herd of blue wildebeest and just as we were about to leave; movement and silhouette in grass right in front of us. A lioness stalking the herd and only her ears sticking out. I got ready with my camera while my wife got ready to take a video (with cellphone). Our hearts were racing in anticipation of what was about to happen.
Like a bullet she jumped and ran towards the herd, in a matter of seconds the experience was something of the past.
She was unsuccessful in the end, but it was still an unforgettable experience, during which I managed to get some great photos like this one.
