Dag 4: Safari vanuit Hanglip Mountain Lodge in Entabeni

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

A normal day in the savannah. The guides drive with their own group from their lodge on the site. We often see lions and hippos in this park. The lionesses work as a group, 2 generations of children and 4 adult ladies. The jackal wants to scavenge the lions' leftovers. The cheetahs are more difficult to find, but the guide finds them after radio contact. It's an ongoing chat about what each guide sees or hears.
