I want to share a very special and our best kruger sighting ever with you. Did the trip in march 2012 and on sunset drive somewhere in the park (no position because rhinos included) we came to a group of lions that killed a buff in the morning. Two big male lions arrived and chased away the other lions - especially there was one young male they didn't like. As the began to eat three rhinos came into the scenery to look after the strange smell and whats wrong here....

That's the little male lion that the brother chased into the bush before, now he had bad luck again as the big rhino found him lying there....
