Lions!



Our one big regret about our Namibia tour was that we had never gotten to see lions up close. We had witnessed a hunt from afar which was certainly exciting, but had never gotten very close to wild lions. Well, our trip to Queen Elizabeth did not disappoint. We came across a pride of about 10 or so lions, resting in the afternoon twilight. There was a herd of Kob (Ugandan antelope) in the distance that they were eying and a few even got up and started making their move toward their dinner before we had to exit the park. Needless to say, it was the highlight of the trip.

Emma leans out of the car wind to show just how close these guys were to the vehicle.

  1. That sounds like a great adventure---lions are always great! I just wanted to let you know that I saw "Old Bess" when I was in Windhoek last week. Keith says she's still running well! It seemed odd to see someone else driving it!
