squeamish look away Saw lions with a kill. A zebra. Got ridiculously close so it was amazing. The cubs were finishing it off. Also saw Tuilani again. Heavily in musth so stayed away Running out of things to stay, lions and eles are so standard nowadays, turning into a safari snob, fly buy the impala now whereas we would stop for pictures. A few notes, the location is durban as it wont recognise Kwazulu-Natal Packed for St Lucia its a short one so a few shou...

Everyone was very friendly felt at home straight away. The drive took about 3 hours, i took the front seat so was very comfy. stopped half way to get drinks etc. first animal we saw was a monkey which we narrowly avoided as it crossed a road equivalent to a motor way.
