Today I decided to set out on drive and look in particular for our male lion. Late yesterday we saw his tracks going east but never managed to find him. So I set off with my guests in what we though to be the lion’s general direction. As regular visitors to this blog may have read, looking for a lion can be quite a long and drawn-out affair. We were fortunate today because as we were driving east along one of the cut-lines we saw a familiar shape in the far distance. My tracker Steven spotted him walking straight towards us. All we had to do was stop, switch off and wait for him to come to us. How lucky is that? It can be that easy sometimes.
