In the last story, we had mentioned that we had been told there were lions back down Timbavati Road 2 km.
So off we went to check it out. Of course, the safari guide had told the cars there at the intersection and so they were right behind us! Saw the lions on Robert's side of the road and they were resting in the sand quite peacefully. We took several pictures and then the female got up and flipped her tail and the male got up and followed her. We then assumed they were a mating pair. The people in the car next to us asked if we were going to follow them and we said no and so they moved ahead of us.
We decided to drive down the road a bit and turn around and go back the way we were heading. We did so and when we did found the pair lying in the bush in perfect light. The male lion looked so much like the lion in the Wizard of Oz to me but seemed to be waiting patiently for the next signal from the female lion. We decided to move on because it was getting quite crowded at the scene.
Stopped off at Satara and did our walk and then went to the picnic area and fixed a lunch and blogged for awhile. Our evening drive was fairly quiet but we did see the mother hyena with three young on our way back into the camp.
