The morning drive was nothing short of fantastic as we followed a pride of 15 lions as they hunted for gazelles, sharpened claws on convenient trees, and climbed all over fallen branches just for the fun of it. There were so many great moments in the early light!

Then we traveled to the picnic site and off to Nabi Hill and beyond. On the main road to Nabi Hill, Jane, one of the Aussies, shouted “SERVAL CAT!” I didn’t know what to do because I had never heard “serval cat” articulated in such a way. Salva stopped on a dime and reversed to find a serval hunting for moles. She pounced, caught a big one and started carrying it away. Out of nowhere came two jackals that promptly stole her kill and chased each other for bragging rights. Now that’s how it’s done!
