  • We go back to the Kruger at the end of the South African summer. On our remaining days at Letaba we come across a pride of lions with a buffalo kill and find another magnificent big tusker.

      First time in 5 visits that we've seen lions at a kill. I guess perseverance brings luck!

      Another great video Les! So different seeing Kruger in the green season from our usual visits in Jun-July. Despite having to work a bit harder you are still coming up with some great sightings and the gorgeous green grass really makes the videos pop 👍

    Greetings again from Australia Les. That was not a small buffalo mate. That would have taken a monumental effort to take down. But what luck for you., Looks like you had a great position on that kill. Unbelievable to watch and listen to them feeding.

      Difficult to see how big the pride was as they kept popping in and out of the bush but at least three females. We go back in the next episode and you'll see how strong a female lion is when she drags the carcass away from all the prying cameras!

    Very nice video! What month was this? We’re still trying to decide when to go. I like the look of all the green grasses. Cheers!

      Thanks. As it says at the end of the video it was February and March 2023.

      Lots of different tracks from Epidemic sound. Takes hours and hours to find the right tracks!

    What track road was this????

      I assume you mean the lions? If so, S44 near Olifants.

      @oldcodgerwithacamera hello! I was curious about the single lane dirt road so hardly used that it had grass down the center.... almost a 4x4 road. Didn't know there were roads so little used in the Kruger. Have you ever thought of using Thermal Imaging Equipment for spotting wildlife in the brush? Do you have difficulties with the load sharing while in SA? As always, thanks for sharing!

      @@Jonathan_and_Tammie That is the S147 one of our favourite roads. It was only opened a few years ago and doesn't appear on some older maps. It is also one-way so no problems with traffic. Thermal imaging might be frustrating, you might know something is there and never actually see it! Load shedding is only mildly inconvenient. All the camps have generators which kick in within a few minutes (15 at most). When the power is off the card machines at the petrol stations don't seem to work although they are always working in the shops so if you need cash for petrol you can always get it at the shop.
