Must have been a very exciting sighting Nannie, was this from Ngwenya?

Our latest Lion seen in Kruger this June, he had a huge entourage of cars following him down the N'watimhirri causeway.

Great sighting and photo Scotm. :clap: :cam:
I try be first at the gate and sometimes I am successful. I came across a pride of lions lying on the H1-3 about 14 kms south of Satara earlier this month.
Here is a pic of the male lion.

I agree with o-dog - nice Lion pictures. Issi - this one is a bit friendlier than the big guy above :D We took the photos on the 29 Nov 2011 a few meters from the Afsaal entrance.
