Along with its large elephant population, Amboseli National Park also supports a large variety of other African safari animals and birds. We had another lion sighting when we came across a pride trying to hunt in the middle of the day. The attention of every single herd beast in the area was focused on the lions, ears up, watching intently and keenly tracking what the big cats were doing. Once it was clear that their presence had been discovered, the pride made a half hearted attempt at the hunt, but their cover was blown and it was hot. Eventually, the lions gave up and moved into the greener, swampy grass to cool off. The predators may have decided to rest, but all of the other animals around them maintained their intense vigilance, keeping their attention on the predators for quite a while – just in case.
Thanks for visiting
