The one that roared in the night.
We heard the roaring of a lion during the night till the early hours of the morning, the sound was just next to the camp. In the morning we decided to look around for him. Just two minute's drive away from the camp we found him, at first in the open but later he moved next to a bush when the sun rose higher. When the guests saw him, they said “you are the one who disturbed our sleep, we’ve seen you at last’’ He was a young nomadic lion with some short blonde mane.
