Just as we were heading to lunch we were told that lion cubs were along a river just by where we were so we turned the van around and headed in search of them. There were two lioness and about 4 cubs who were clearly trying to get their mum to play with them by nibbling her ear!

An elephant and its baby chilling out.

This was possibly the best find so far we found a pride of lion eating their prey which I think was an unfortunate wildebeest. Just incredible to see they were quite a way from the van so we all used binoculars to get a better look but it was amazing to watch as the male and female lion were eating it and then 6 cubs turned up to help them devoured their prey with vultures flying overhead. I have a video but it takes too long to upload it now so I've put on of the stills of when the male and female lion were eating before the cubs joined them - the lionesses are the ones that do the hunting.

Not sure of the name of this bird I think it may be the Kenyan national bird but I was so amazed by how clear the photo was it had to go in the blog!

After the safari we headed back to the campsite for some food and then stayed up drinking until the generator turned off at 10 when we headed to the camp fire to finish of our drinks - a guy from the trip called Ben had quite a few to drink and decided it was the right moment to crack out the recorder which he struggled to play but it was funny to watch! The next day we headed of on safari again, this elephant was ridiculously close to the van but I was reassured that they normally do a dummy charge at vehicles before a real one! Apparently elephants have a top speed of 50km/h but luckily this one was fairly chilled.

We were only on an afternnon safari so started to head back but on our way back spotted another cheetah hunting for food.

Another shot of the lioness.
