It was by far the best day of game viewing in our life so far. After seeing "the usual suspects" - hippos, crocs, antelopes, elephants, warthogs, giraffes etc, we got a leopard sighting. But the big story begun in the late afternoon.
We set our camp right at the waterfront when an elephant walked by. Then a hippo walked out of the water and tried to scare us away. And then two African wilddogs hunt down an impala at the very forefront of our site. Minutes later a pack of lions showed up on the opposite bank of the river and after some consideration decided to swim across the river and steal the impala from the wilddog.
The lions took to devour the impala and watched in amazement, but also in growing worries about our own supper and where do we spend that night.
Eventually we managed to push the lions away by disturbing their peace with our cars, but it is forever a night to remember to all involved...
