Circle of Life - 08/08

This morning's game drive started with a visit to the hippo and crocodile pool.  We were able to see many hippos and crocs basking, swimming, eating and sleeping before continuing our drive. 
We saw some vultures circling and a few others perched in a tree so Doto, our driver, took us to check out the area.  When we arrived we saw jackals and hyenas hanging around as well.  Doto pointed out the lion prints to us and said by the amount there was a large group of them.  We soon found a young male lion guarding the kill- another giraffe. We spotted more lions in the bush and when we got closer I was amazed at the sight of the largest pride I've seen so far!  There were 9 lions resting in the shade and another male resting in a shady spot a little further away.  I got some great photos!  So even though I haven't found that leopard yet I've had some really priceless moments on this safari already.  One day left before we head to our next camp... I hope they can meet the high standard set by Candy, Graeme and the Ruaha River Lodge team!
