The young male cub chews at the remaining horns from an earlier hunt, the gnawing sounds cracking into the night.
It was a night where the pride had taken down a young buck and, later, a buffalo. The extent of the hunt allowed the younger members of the pride to eat in relative peace, sharing the spoils amongst themselves. With our guides’ lights, we could see the gnarling action as they split the pieces, moving in various directions around the main scene to enjoy some privacy.
This young male savoured the horns, chewing and playing with the boney remains at some leisure. But it was not long before one of his sisters came over, claiming the piece as he let go to head back to the larger feast. It was a large pride, numbering thirty or more at the time of our sighting. So the night feast was important to ensure their hunger was satisfied for the coming period. The next morning, they had moved on, leaving the neighborhood and entering new territory to the north.
RAW AFRICA COLLECTION
Welcome to Africa - the wise, the restless, the life giving.
This soulful land of dreamers gives rise to the underbelly of a beautiful gentle beat that is only heard by those who listen for it. This photographic journey explores, profiles and captures what I hope is the heart and soul of Africa's true wilderness kingdom. From its deep bush to its dry savannah and desert, Africa remains a place where life is represented by timeless vistas that are distilled into moments to treasure.
