Theres an old saying that goes something like this; A man is afraid three times: when he first sees a lion spoor; when he first hears a lion call; and when he first sees a lion when hes on footÂÂ. At Makenyane situated in South AfricaÂÂs north-west province, even the elephants - the real kings of the jungle respect lions. At Makenyane there is an important lion research project on the go and there is nothing like waking in the night to the call of a lion or a hyena shrieking to remind you that you are in a place of primal beauty. You watch and wonder at the gifts of Africa. Twenty seven thousand Afrikaners died in the war against the British; of those twenty two thousand were women and children. Now the animals have come back to the land around the Kruger house.
Game is plentiful here. Blue wildebeest, zebra and impala flourish on the vast grasslands. The sighting of three male cheetah at a kill leaves you spellbound. This is Africa. A cycle of life and death! The placid white rhino with their young graze peacefully in extended family groups. A breeding herd of elephant wallowing while their young engage in play play duals. Then face to face with one of evolutionâs marvels at home in her habitat, words fail you. The stately female leopard â Africaâs ultimate killer! Itâs best just to be silent and watch.
