Kavita, I think we discussed this lion at Melkvlei? We saw a couple of those though.

The lions of Kgalakgadi were affected by Canine Distemper Virus a few years back, could well be that it resurfaced.

A pride at rest. For those who saw the BBC 2 programme "Countdown To the Rains" this is the pride that were referred to as The Hollywood Pride.

Three male lions in their prime sleeping through the day in Ndutu, Serengeti.

We kept passing by to see if they had got up to do anything but they were sleeping for hours and hours.

 

The luxury of being top predator

@@Paul T Was this in Nsefu sector or on the western side of the river? I think it's actually what they called the Saltpan Pride in the BBC doc.

Hi egilio, this pride were photographedon the western side of the river. The Saltpan pride in the Nsefu sector were a much smaller pride; this larger pride did cross the river and ventured into the Nsefu sector but then crossed back to their territory.

OK, am I seeing a collared lioness in the picture or is that shade or something? @@Paul T

Which camp were you staying at?

One lioness is collared.

We stayed at Flatdogs Camp,

So I was wrong and indeed what they called Hollywood pride in the series.
