On April 19th I had one of the best experiences and sightings of my guiding career...
Firstly coming across 3 young male Lions, known as the Talamati Males in Southern Sabi Sands...
We followed them for a short while, when they suddenly stopped, and started stalking a nearby lone Buffalo bull. Once they attacked, the Buffalo turned on them and they ran directly towards the vehicle...failed attempt to kill...
We continued following them as they casually walked through the bush...As they pass a termite mound, suddenly about 6 Warthogs come dashing out of a hole...
Total Chaos!!! With Warthogs squeeling, Lions Growling and dust everywhere...One Lion got hold of a Warthog...
Grabbed it behind the head and just held on...
The sound was bone chilling, and something words cannot describe. This all happened 5 meters in front of our vehicle. ...
The Warthog took a really long time to die, as it kept squeeling and the loud sound travelling through the night obviously attracted attention of other predators...
At this point in time some of the clients started crying, as they were overwhelmed by the agression and sound coming from the event happening in front of us...
As the Lions started eating the Warthog, it eventually took its last breath (which in itself was a terrible sound)...
During the course of the feeding process, a client said "there is something behind us" ... And first thought was, Hyena...But as our tracker moved the spotlight to investigate...
Much to our surprise it was a young male Leopard, attracted by the smell and sound of the kill, he took the intestines of the Warthog and jumped into the tree next to us...
Eventually we had some Hyenas also surrounding the area...
All in all, it was just an incredible moment to have 3 of Africa's biggest carnivores all in 1 spot...
I did not get photos of the Leopard as it wasn't easy to get pics in the dense tree above us...
The photos of the Lion Kill in action are not clear, as it was really difficult with the amount of dust everywhere, but I tried my best...
I hope my story and photos justifies it enough to make you understand what an incredible moment this was...
