Safari Day 17 - Tracking Lions

Highlight of the day: Tracking lions

This morning we were up before sunrise for another walk. It was another beautiful morning, and we ended up spending most of the time following some lion tracks that started just near our campsite. According to Seven, our guide, there were 2 lions and at least one cub, probably two. They had been hunting right around our camp that morning! We never did see the lions, but it was exciting all the same. It was so cool to interpret the tracks to figure out what they had been up to all night.

We arrived back at camp for a huge breakfast, then packed up all of our gear and headed out. The mokoro trip back was just as relaxing. We got back to the campground in Maun in time for lunch. A few of us then went with the truck into town to buy beer and check email, then we hung out at the campground for the rest of the day.
