More Big game adventures and walking with a Lion.

I set of in Hen’s car early – about 6am. I headed about 20 miles away to a game lodge with 60000 hectares of land. I was about to do a group walk with a Lion Cub and also a big five game drive. Both very cool things to do. We set off at about 7 with a little lion cub in tow, being kept mostly busy with Prince a golden retriever who was playing with it, The cub a female at 9 months was so sweet, Give it a year tough and it’ll eat me and the dog for breakfast. The African Guide – Dan was full of useful and useless facts about animals and trees as we strolled along.

After the walk we all had breakfast and I chatted to English women one who owned a lodge the other who was visiting her friend from London.

After I going a massive Toyota Land Cruiser with 2 Japanese girls and a guide and started out tour. This took us in to a lion enclosure where we got up close and personal with an 11 year old male lion literally 4 feet away in an open topped vehicle. God knows why he didn’t eat me, but had he tried I had a cunning plan to feed him the Japanese girls, may be he would prefer the taste of oriental.

After we saw my favourite animal – a leopard. A very handsome specimen ( said in David Attenborough accent). The guide was enticing it up a tree with a stick on a rope, the Leopard was loving the entertainment, and so was I.

Afterwards we saw more game and then a few more Lions and 2 White Rhino. These we drove up to and they did not seem bothered. All 2 tonnes of them. We finished about 12 and I said my goodbyes before heading off in Hens car, only to get very lost along the way. I had visions of getting very stuck and getting mauled but eventually managed to find my way to the gate and freedom.
