We found these 2 young male lions close to our camp site in Pilanesberg National Park one morning of a 3 Day Chalet Pilanesberg Safari.

After hearing them early one morning while having our coffee and rusks, we had a good idea of where to search for them.
We were very lucky to get to them just as these 2 young males crossed the road on their way to meet the lionesses who were already resting in the shade of a tree nearby.

There were no other vehicles and the lions were very lazy and in no hurry.

On a one day safari to Pilanesberg National Park recently, we got trapped in a breeding herd of elephant.

Sometimes these very close-up sightings get the guests excited and sometimes they get anxious. This particular close-up sighting of elephant in Pilanesberg was described by one of my guests as “a life changing experience”.

One of the adult cows of the herd gave us some really good poses and kept them long enough for us to take good photos.
