Reporting Date: 25/12/2012.
The Mara game reserve has received a good amount of rainfall over the last one week making it's vast grassy plains look nice and green.
Ranger Alex and his guests were on a full-day game drive and were headed down to the sand-river. Alex was hoping to find the sand-river pride, after searching for a while he noticed alot of vultures circling and knew there must be a carcass around. As they got closer they saw two Lions cubs struggling to feed on a huge eland carcass. Alex and his guests took time to watch the cubs feed and after a while moved on to see the rest of the pride that was sleeping in the near-by bushes.
