This morning we spent on an early morning game drive in our truck. There wasn’t a great deal of action on the animal front especially because this park is known not to have any Cheetah’s, Zebra’s, Gazelle’s, Impala as they were all killed by humans a number of years ago. It also only has a few Lions, so you can imagine our excitement when we spotted a pride of seven Lions not too far off in the distance. We sat and watched this pride for a while which was fantastic, especially when they got up and wandered towards a group of grazing Cob’s. Unfortunately we believe they all looked pretty full when they were lying around so they weren’t too interested in the Cob’s, so no, we didn’t get to see Lion’s hunting... oh well.
After a couple of relaxing hours at the campsite we went on a lake cruise on Lake Edward and its natural connection with Lake George. This cruise was great. We saw a phenomenal number of Hippo’s that were within metres of the boat including quite a few babies.We also spotted a male and a female Lion on the bank who were apparently separate from the pride to mate. The park and its lakes are also famous for the number of birdlife they are home to, this was interesting as well.
