An Awesome Game Ride

Mom was awoken to my pops being yelled at by the guard to return to his tent. There must have been an elephant or other animal near by. We were all getting up early to go out for a long game ride.  It was almost 6 am, and the sun was not up.  They turn the lights on here at the lodge at 5:45. The lodge runs on solar power and you only have access to electricity a few hours a day.

We headed out, my gram was in search of Lions.  We were in luck we saw two Leopards and lots of other animals.  On our way to have our breakfast in the bush, we came across 4 lions hunting near the swampland.  We watched them track a buffalo and even attach, but they did not kill.  They soon disappeared into the tall grass.  We had our breakfast at a near by picnic area. 

What an amazing experience to see all these animals and watch them in their own environment.  I so love this so far.

We headed back to lodge and will enjoy the afternoon relaxing.
