was like ‘big cat diaries’ right before our eyes inclusive the sound of the

But we had some more time and from the distance we saw a herd of wildebeest in a rather strange formation up on a hill, our guide went to check it out and all of sudden yelled ‘big baba lion’ and start racing to the scene and a couple of minutes later we (people with normal eye sight) saw it too; a gorgeous male lion staring at the herd of wildebeest.
Our guide told us that we could maybe see another one on the last game drive the next morning. Even though morning drives are probably the way to see the cats, I didn’t have much hope: our time was limited and so we would not be able to go far into the park.
