A hot sunny day...Posted by: ranger in MBT - Daily Game Reports on Mar 24, 2012 Tagged in: Bushtops Daily Game Reports

Reporting Date: 23.03.2012.
The day begun with a clear blue sky. Ferdinand and his guests set out on a full-day game drive and by 10 oc'lok the sun was already at its peak. Due to this soaring heat Ferdinand decided to concentrate his game viewing along streams and water points hoping to find alot plains game. After having lunch the search continued but to their suprise they found two adult lions quenching their thirst.
During the day lions tend to rest under thickets to avoid the hot sun and if too hot they can walk to water holes to drink.
