Lion
Sighted on: 26.Feb.2025
Early one morning, during a game drive on the eastern side of our reserve, we had a remarkable encounter. We spotted three young lion cubs resting in the shade of a tree. The warm morning sun cast a golden glow on their fur as they lay quietly, their ears twitching at the distant sounds of the bush.
As we watched, one of the cubs stood up and slowly approached our vehicle. It stopped just a few metres away, gazing at us with curious eyes, as if trying to understand who we were. For a brief moment, we stared at each other—humans and wild nature, face to face. Then, just as calmly, the cub turned and walked back to its siblings, vanishing into the tall grass.
These cubs, around 18 months old, were still learning the skills needed to survive in the wild. At this age, lionesses often leave their young in a safe spot while they go hunting. If successful, they return to collect their cubs and lead them to the kill. But if the hunt fails, the cubs must wait patiently until their mothers find food.
