What a sighting! Although a gruesome scene, finding these kills is a massive rush like no other – to see the most animalistic impulses to feed come out in raw experience makes the heart rate fly. Finding these lions on a zebra kill was no exception!
It’s also not every day that we get to see scenes like this right outside the camp. The sun had fallen and we were wrapping up our drive when a chorus of frightened zebra barks echoed from out of the block to the North of Africa on Foot.
It was the late night cries of the zebra that got us in the general area. But It was the sounds of meat tearing off the bone, coming from within the thick bush, that gave away these big cats exact location. We followed our ears into the dark, dense block and soon stumbled upon the carnage: lions on a zebra kill. *It was a busy night in the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, so you’ll have to excuse the radio chatter.*
While the radio chatter might be annoying to some, we celebrate hearing stations from our local lodges on the drive again. It’s been a long, quiet period without our International guests!
Shortly after we stopped rolling camera, a big male came rushing into the scene – chasing the females off the carcass so he could feed. The females scattered and we left them all alone to enjoy the spoils of their efforts. Just another day #RoamingTheWild at Africa on Foot!
