Lions are on the Move

The past two mornings we have been awoken by the roaring of lions just outside of camp. What an incredible sound and today we saw fresh tracks from three different males but we couldn't find a female track. Mark and Cindy Zimmermann, the Canadian booking agents for AAA Serapa Safaris, are here with us and Mark took a massive 40" male gemsbok this morning. What an incredible trophy. We also tracked a herd of eland for quite a distance but once we caught up with them we couldn't find a big enough bull.

In the afternoon, we played hide and seek with a big steenbuck and Vanessa was finally able to slip a bullet through the heavy cover into him. Taking a steenbuck on foot off shooting sticks is very rare indeed. Then right at last light we saw a nice male nyala but there wasn't enough camera light left to make a stalk.
