Day 20 - Game Drives in Botswana

Up early this morning before sunrise to catch the big cats on a game drive. And we saw an amazing sight!!
Lions had killed a buffalo the day before and were coming in to eat the kill. We arrived to see 2 lioness eating it...the sift of the blood on their face, the smell of the flesh, the noise of the cracking of the bones and ripping of skin....it was made very real that these are wild animals.

On the other side...there were very quickly 10 game drive vehicles at the site all surrounding this view...it made a "nature" experience back into the "Disneyland tourist attraction" feel again. And this is low season, so I wonder what it is like in high season?!

Returned for breakfast (pancakes and toast) followed by a delightful nap by the pool. Now this feels like vacation!
