Lions!

Lions near Orpen Camp
We have been visiting the Kruger Park on and off for about eight years and we have had only a few lion sightings that have not been great. Some were very far off so photos were not good and others were sitting under a tree in the shade, so when we came across these two young males in the road there was much excitement!
We had left Orpen Camp and were trying to decide whether to go down to Lower Sabie via the tar road or the dirt road. We decided on the dirt road and as you can see, this was the correct choice!
The two males were startled by our arrival - as you can see from their faces - and then they allowed us to photograph them for about fifty minutes, until other cars started to arrive and they disappeared into the bush, in typical lion fashion.

"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.
