Morning all,

Went to Mata-Mata yesterday morning to change vehicles, it was a cool morning and not of game around (maybe due to all the lions in the area). At Auchterlonie i came across 4 lion (2x male, 2x female) which caught a Eland a bit earlier, sat with them a bit and took some Go Pro footage (will post it bit later-need to convert the files first).

Have a great week
