|   "I
spent a lot of time one way or the other at Savuti
last year and got to know various prides of lion.
Shaba's pride and Naomi's pride provided spectacular
game viewing for the most of my clients throughout
the year. Shaba's pride (usually between 16 and
18 lion) brought down a fully grown giraffe one
evening. They fed off that until their bellies were
bloated.! They were then joined by Naomi's pride,
making a total of 26 lion. Needless to say, the
giraffe did not last long after that. The spotted
hyenas kept us amused most of the year with little
ones playing around their den, coming up to the
vehicle and sniffing at the rather nervous passengers.
Two or three different mothers, as the pup sizes
were between little black fur balls to the lighter
coloured (spotted) one year olds. the gentle old
elephant buts of Savuti provided the back drop to
all the game viewing. Never aggressive in any which
way - they would always let us photograph them at
very short distances. They are by far, my most favourite
animal."
Love
to you all
