Bogged Down and Surrounded By Lions And Elephants- Virtual Safari # 205

This afternoon's adventure starts with us being side-tracked by a herd of elephants drinking in the Sand River, exactly where two male lions were supposed to be. We capitalise on this and get some great footage of them drinking and then crossing through the river.

Thinking that the elephants had all moved on, we looped back around to try to find the lions and sure enough they had just been seeking refuge in the bushes nearby to avoid the elephants. As the lions move out into the open revealing themselves, another group of elephants arrives. Attempting to move out of the way of both the elephants and lions lands me in a little bit of a pickle that not even a Land Cruiser could help me with.

Finally, after being rescued by a tractor, we follow these two enormous male lions on a territorial patrol and have them walk right past the vehicle multiple times and then roar to advertise their presence.
