Reporting Date: 20.01.2012
The morning started on a low note for peter,martin and their guest.A little after ten o'clock they came across a huge herd of buffaloes who seemed to be in a panic mood. After looking around for what was causing the unrest, they saw a pride of lions feeding on a buffalo carcass. It seemed they arrived an hour late because the carcass was already half eaten. They all watched the lions dig in as some of them rested with full bellies in some near-by the bush.
Buffalo is not an easy prey for lions but they provide ample food for the whole pride.
