Brent Leo Smith is back from leave to
start the sunset drive, he has Jeandré
Gerding on camera. Woo-hoo! I've missed his hyper, happy personality!
Brent,
(2016/03/08 16:01) With a breeding herd of Elephants near the Djuma pan. He tells us there are two school classes watching which I love to hear, It is such a great idea for students to watch this, ask questions and learn early to love animals.

Brent,

- 2016/03/08 17:25 Impala
Jamie,
(2016/03/08 17:28) Jamie tells us that,
while not live, she drives around a blind corner and surprises a large Male
Lion he was so close that he was right at her door. It startled all of them the
humans and the Lion, so the Lion, which is probably a member of the Birmingham
boys coalition ran off. However she
still has him in sight and is following closely but cautiously since he seems
anxious. She is driving through the bush which is loud with all the trees and
such so she sends us back to Brent until she relocates the Lion.
Brent,
- Wonderful Sun rays shining through the clouds I love the amazing sky views we get almost as good as the animals, personally better than some animals but not many. Ha-Ha
- 2016/03/08 17:32 Elephant for a second literally, I got a screenshot of it before we cut to Jamie but it's just not worth sharing.
Jamie,
We get rushed
back to Jamie who is in a clearing following the large male lion, who goes up
to an area and beings to investigate then dig. Jamie discusses which male is
could be and comes to the conclusion it must be a Birmingham boy he was just on
a mission to find the source of a smell and not really an nervous of the
vehicle as she thought. Still she is wisely cautious and moves closer in short
intervals. We watch him for a while before he finally pulls out an already dead
and very bad smelling, but undamaged carcass of a warthog.
Normally I prefer to let WildEarth archives be the
source of video clips but for a great sightings like this I made one to share, cutting out a bit to shorten it.

(2016/03/08 18:18) The lion gets up and considers
what to do and decides to walk away.
Brent,
(2016/03/08 18:21) A Hippo out of the water drinking from the nearby pan at Sydney's dam.
Jamie,
(2016/03/08 18:23) Is still with the awesomely huge male lion that is now posing for pictures, and giving himself a little cleaning. Then @18.26 he hears something and gets up to investigate. We see, after Jamie moves the vehicle, that it's a few of the Nkuhuma lionesses approaching. Since "Big boy" won't share the carcass that he doesn't even want, one of the lioness goes to where the warthog was buried and begins to dig.
Brent,
(2016/03/08 18:32) At the Aubrey road Hyena Den with 11 different hyenas, including the cubs. It is already dark and screenshots are too dark. We don't stay long then we are sent back to Jamie with the lions.
Jamie,
Brent,
(2016/03/08 18:50) Near Djuma waterhole Brent is with the fifth Nkuhuma lioness, who is roaring to find her pride. As we know they are to the south with Jamie. It's very windy and with the wind blowing North at her, the rest of the pride won't hear her. Jamie is with the others and doesn't hear the roars. She continues to walk roar, lay down roar more until then end of drive.

Jamie,
(2016/03/08 18:35) At first the lioness are all four drinking.
Once done drinking they get up and walk off. Jamie follows thinking they maybe going
to hunt. She hears from FC (final
Control) that Stef and James heard roaring near camp and the Djuma cam area so
they are headed out to see which lion is around. Brent is also on his way to
that area.
