6:00 a.m.

We were up bright and early this morning, on the road by 6:00 a.m. We were just talking about listening to the lion roar through the night, then we came around the corner about 5 km away from our camp and a male lion was coming across the plains.








He passed right past the back or our jeep on his way to the Kopje's ( a formation of granite rock formation). He just kept walking and did't even acknowledge we were there.










We followed him around the Kopje and watched him climb the rock. He went all the way to the top and where he nestled in for the day.










This is the first time he acknowledged us, as he was climbing the rock he took one look back to see if we were still there. I cannot explain the feeling you get when you see one of these guys coming toward your vehicle. It is hard to believe that we were in thier environment and not a zoo.
