 The summer rain allowed for great tracking today. After an hour 2 lionesses and one young male where found lying on an anthill. The surprise was 2 young cubs! The first time to see these cubs at Sandibe. Our guests watch the pride for an hour while the cubs suckled and played together.

For the past week a sitatunga has been seen racing...
