Day 26: Rhino River Lodge in het Manyoni Nature Reserve

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds Insects NL EN

For variety we go to a Big 5 park where we can see lions and elephants. That's right, and to be honest it was the best elephant photo spot. A large group comes to drink in the beautiful evening light at the end of the afternoon.

After looking at the group for a while, we started looking for a few lions. There are two men and a lioness. The lioness tried to seduce the leading male. He stood up for a while, but he preferred to sleep. She gave up and left.< /p>
