Friday evening around 6 o’clock we were just at the dinner table when Nicolus, our bar- and handyman, came running in. “Lions at the waterhole” he shouted and we jumped up. Armed with our camera we went outside as silent as possible since we didn’t want to scare the lions. At the water hole we saw a lioness and from the bushes a lion appeared. A bit further in the bushes we thought we saw more
lionesses but since it was getting dark already it was difficult to see. Nicolus had warned our guests as well and they just saw the lion walking away. Corné quickly started the Land rover and drove the guests to where the lio0ns had disappeared. Unfortunately they didn’t see the lions anymore but later that evening, and even the next morning, we heard them roar close by.
Yesterday morning the kids got to look for Easter eggs here at the lodge. Around half past 9 we drove with the Land rover to the house of our friends where Corné’s parents stay now for two months. The Easter bunny left something there for the children as well. We had a nice morning with my parents in law and stayed there for lunch.
Regards from the bush,
