Today on a late afternoon game drive we came upon a lioness that was relaxing in the sun on a rocky place behind some bushes. She was a lactating lioness with four cubs of about three months old. Her cubs were hidden behind  her on the bushes where she would constantly go in to monitor them. Normally the lionesses would leave the pride members for a secluded spot  for some duration to quietly  feed her cubs, but this is usually within their territory. She would later on introduce the cubs to the main pride. This lioness was part of a pride that we refer to as the ''river pride''which roams the area near the Mara river.
