What a first game drive

The newbies on this trip, Jaeson included, have been spoiled beyond belief. After our three hour ride up to Welgevonden and a very nice lunch we headed out on our first game drive.
It started out nicely enough. When you are new to safari everything is interesting. Water buck. Warthogs. Kudus. Even baboons. We saw them all.
Then as it was getting late we heard weird off a lion sighting. So off we went in search. William our ranger at first "showed" us two lions a way a way laying down on some rocks. I put showed in quotes because he said they were there but you couldn't have proven it by me  (though Jaeson had photos that later confirmed every claim that William made).
Anyway we moved on from there and meet up with the lioness that was stalking some wildebeest. She was plenty focused and very stealthy as you can see in the photo but she waited to long and lost the moment and thus her dinner. But very cool first day.
