Descrizione
A breathtaking lion sighting brought traffic to a standstill on the main road south of Satara in Kruger National Park. One of the powerful Ngotso South/S90 males was first seen pacing up and down the tar, calling for his missing brother. When the two finally reunited, they strolled further south towards the H6, scent-marking and scanning for the Satara Pride lionesses. After several miles of purposeful walking, the brothers disappeared into the bush—unaware that one of the pride’s lionesses was quietly making her way up the road behind them.
Game drive etiquette rules:
– When you come across a sighting, slowly pull over on the side of the road closest to the animal, but keep a safe distance
– If there are animals in the road, immediately stop at least 20 m from them
– The lane furthest from the sighting should never be blocked, so that others can pass if they want to
– Don’t linger longer than a few minutes at a sighting, so that others can view it too
– Never go off the designated roads
– Never climb out of your vehicle during a drive, or hang out of your car windows or sunroof
– Don’t hoot or blare loud music
– Avoid driving into vegetation, as this could damage the environment or kill small animals
– During night drives, never shine a spotlight directly in animals’ eyes
– Never make noise to get animals to move, stand up or otherwise react for pictures
– Respect the rangers, and always comply with their requests or instructions
