Timbavati Game Reserve – lions

The Timbavati Reserve is home to Shindzela Tented Safari Camp, and this week we have had excellent lion sightings and would like to share our images – all taken by Monika who has been guiding in camp. Earlier, this week, lions killed a buffalo, and various different lions have been feeding off this one kill. A large male lion has been dominant at the kill, but several females (one with a small cub) have also fed off the meat. Hyena have been trying to snatch some morsels, and last night we counted 9 spotted hyena circling the kill, hoping to get a chance to feed. Enjoy these wildlife photographs, hot off the press from the bush in the Timbavati Game Reserve.
