Stayed for three nights in the Ruaha National Park. When we arrived there were two Lions right opposite our campsite! There are some large Lion prides here of 20+ individuals and were lucky enough to see 22 Lions in one day in three different locations. Ten of these we watched for around an hour at the end of which they then went hunting an Eland up the dry river bed. They didn’t catch it though but it was just amazing to see them hunting.
We also saw a large pride with 4 cubs and 9 adults. There could have been more but in the long grass it wasn’t always easy to spot them. It made taking photographs very difficult too.
2 hours of rain yesterday afternoon, the mattress in the roof tent got rather damp but we managed to get it dry enough to sleep on!
Stayed at a Farm called Kisolanza both before and after Ruaha where we could get fresh meat and vegetables grown on the Farm. A very pleasant campsite too. Met a Swiss couple who have been travelling in a Fiat Panda (4×4 admittedly!) but brave nevertheless.
