(You must turn your speakers to full blast, this is the lion roaring!)
That's what the lions were saying the entire first night of our safari! Our game ranger told us before we went to bed ,that the next morning we were going on a lion hunt. I woke up at 3 in the morning to a huge roar, and then heard a lion roar about every 20 minutes until we left for our early morning game drive at 6am. Just as we left our lodge we came upon the lions with their kill! There was one male lion standing in the road, and right along side of the road was three large cubs, and three females feeding on their kill. We just about died, it was very scary to see them right there. I thought my dad was going to die, the rest of us barely breathed!
Unfortunately, our pictures are not very good and do not portray the awesomeness of this incredible experience. It was too dark and my camera was acting up. We would all agree this was an experience not to be forgotten! They fed on this carcass all day and we spotted them later in the day, and again that night our ranger took us out about 11pm. This time the pride had moved away from the carcass and were lazily hanging out in the field. At first all we saw were the cubs and females, but then from the distance we heard the ROAR! It was coming from behind, our ranger turned the jeep around just in time for that magnificent creature to walk right past us. So close that Taylor was literally shaking, as Mimi will tell you! All I can say is PRICELESS, INCREDIBLE, AMAZING, and BREATHTAKING!
