My Drive photo album
Welcome
and good morning from James Hendry with Dave Eastaugh on camera. Since were
such good boys and girls and got up early or stayed up late to watch
"SafariLive" Live he has a surprise for us, **drum roll**. He turns
of the lights and what do we see? The Nkuhuma pride of lioness!! Woo Hoo! Right
in front of his vehicle one lioness is sleeping, there are three others around
close by as well, and one of them is off mating with the Birmingham boy
coalition. It is still very dark but with the vehicles light we can see them as
James chats with viewers. They are smack dab in the middle of Djuma game
reserve on Quarantine clearing. James tells us that Jamie Paterson is on the
other vehicle however she is filming promotional footage for WildEarth so we
are blessed with James' voice for the entire drive.

It is not a very long sighting we see some cuteness of the cubs then madam gets up and leaves and the cubs go into the den.
