A SCENE SO SURREAL
奇迹
Since I have been a guide for a good few years now, I couldn’t tell you on one hand all the incredible things I have been able to witness, the list is endless, each moment in its own is unique and special.
Such one moment is being able to spend such precious time with these two lion cubs.
自我做向导多年来，我不能一 一列举我所目睹的奇迹。每时每刻都是独一无二的。
就像此刻与南部狮群两名幼崽一起共度这宝贵的时光。

Since my journey at Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve, I have been able to witness a fraction of the Southern Pride’s time, a once regal, strong unbreakable pride through the years has had some strenuous times and in the rawness if nature, has withered away.
But all hope is not lost – we have had a female from that same pride roaming here on Sabi Sabi. When she started mating with the N’waswishaka male lions, we saw a twinkle of joy – that twinkle was ignited when we noticed her two precious little cubs hidden in the rocky outcrop… eyes barely open!
自我至萨比萨比做向导以来，我虽未见证南部狮群的全盛，但是却目睹了南部狮群的由盛转衰。坚不可摧的南部狮群似乎在逐渐凋零。
但是希望还在，南部狮群的最后的火种依旧活跃在萨比萨比这片土地上。当她开始和N’waswishaka雄狮开始交配的时候，我们无法掩饰我们的喜悦——两只藏在岩缝中尚未睁开眼睛的幼崽。

We knew this time would be strange and hard for her as she was alone in this and had no support of an existing pride. Nonetheless, she has done an amazing job thus far, getting them to this age – it is around now that she would have introduced them to a pride.
我们知道，这对于没有狮群成员帮助的独狮是很艰难的。尽管如此，她将幼崽成功养大到可以介绍给父辈的年龄。

Once again, a shimmer of hope – we came across a buffalo kill with one male lion. On closer inspection, there lay the female lion and her two cubs – knowing now that she has brought them to feed on the kill in a presence of a male (the potential father). We now know she is not entirely alone in this and the protection of a male is there.
又一次，我们看到了希望。N’waswishaka雄狮杀死的野牛旁边躺着南部大公主和她的两个幼崽。她带来与父辈一同进食。我们知道，她不是孤单一狮，她的背后还有四位丈夫在保护着她们。

The cubs are looking so good and healthy with so much energy and spunk! Play time seems to be all the time and with an inquisitive nature, they are keeping mom up and down on her feet.
幼崽是健康充满活力的。它们一直在玩耍，在妈妈身上爬上爬下

We sat in awe as we had the moment in front of us – in a dry riverbed lay the kill, not far a very full male lion; just to the left – a very full mom keeping an eye on two mischievous cubs and to close it all, a sunset beaming through the trees surrounding them.
我们心怀敬畏注视着眼前的一幕，不远处，一只雄狮躺在干涸的河床上；另一侧一只饱腹的雌狮时刻注意着她的两个幼崽，夕阳透过灌木洒在它们身上。

We all wish nothing less than success and greatness for this female…
期待着南部雌狮的成功与伟大
