Reporting Date: 15.9.2012
All the five vehicle left on full day game drive into the mara game reserve. Two left to chance the migration at Talek river and the other three with rangers Alex, Daniel, and ferdinand went to the Mara river. On the way, the three as usual came along interesting things and the highlight of the day was this copulating lions that lay by the road side.
With plenty of food (migration) at this time of the year the prides all over are in good health and copulation is common. These act takes about eleven seconds and is crowned by a male applaud accompanied with teeth exposure.
