Mr. Majestic is looking very good and I am so happy for you that you got your shots, Mel :clap: :clap: :clap:

Although I must say the rest of what you saw on one of my favourite road is fantastic too and that is exactly why I love that area that much - There is always something to be seen - You must be open for surprises :thumbs_up:

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

What a lovely morning drive with so many wonderful sightings Melph68! Your pictures of the Grey Lourie is absolutely superb! :clap: :clap:

So many different kinds of animals! Wonderful! But I must say, that Impie is just stunning! :D

Sincerely hope you found more Lions! :thumbs_up:

Mel and David, your day was exciting. :dance:

Love, love the grey loerie pics. They are such elegant birds. Noisy, but they look classy. :D :D

And the little giraffe, oh sooooooo cute.

Lower Sabie - Lion Day continued again.... :wink:

As we approached the first thing we saw was the Kruger jam of cars on the bridge :?
Image

Thankfully we were able to sneak into a little opening and then got out the binoculars.
So where were these lions then?? :hmz:

Dad got this photo, which shows the perspective of the sighting. Can you see the lions there?
Image

Luckily my camera had a little more zoom :thumbs_up:

WOW, it was a mating pair!! 8) 8) 8)
And our first ever lioness!!! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
What a handsome couple :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Image

They had obviously been working very hard at making baby lions :wink:
So despite all the noise the humans were making, sleep was of the essence :lol: :thumbs_up:
Image
Image

We’d been watching the happy couple snooze for half an hour, when our attention was diverted to the croc in front of them.
It looked weird :hmz:
Image
Image

But then all attention was back on the lions :thumbs_up:
Their slumber was constantly interrupted by cars coming and going :?
Image

Ahh, back to sleep again….
Image
Image
Image

And then joy of joys, the lioness stood up!! :dance: :dance: :dance:
Image

What a feisty young lady with her tail swishing about 8)
Image

While her man gazed at her adoringly :D
Image

:popcorn:

Mel, just stunning pictures :thumbs_up:

Love the one that included the big croc. Just shows that nothing was going to distract them.

Wonderful.
