Lioness
Sighted on: 06.March.2024
As the evening approached, a captivating wildlife moment unfolded at our main water pan, right in front of our Lodge, accompanied by the distinct calls of Guineafowl echoing through the air. This audible prelude marked the arrival of a familiar lioness and her three cubs, moving gracefully towards the water pan from the northern side of the reserve. The lioness exhibited a consistent pattern, approaching from the same direction on multiple occasions, offering a unique insight into the delicate balance of predator and prey dynamics against the tranquil backdrop of the serene water pan. In a separate context, lions, like those observed in the Kalahari Desert, drink by bending down and using their tongues to lap up water. Water is indispensable for their survival in this arid environment, helping maintain hydration, regulating body temperature, and playing a vital role in their overall well-being. In the Kalahari, where water sources can be scarce, access to water becomes even more critical for the health and survival of the lion.
