Pictures were extracted from the video.

We have been hunting together for over 40 years.

Congrats Saeed.

I knew there had to be lions around.

The quality of old buff your group is taking is impressive.

Love the photos.

When we got to that valley, a few hundred yards before, we saw a bushpig.

We went after him, he was going towards the lion bait.

About 200 yards from the bait, we saw the lion.

He was looking straight at us.

We stopped.

He started walking towards us, growling, at one stage he was behind a bush.

As soon as he cleared the bush, he took off towards!

I fired a shot at him, that turned his charge, and ran off to the side.

Another shot put him down.

A lesson to be learned here.

To shoot a lion, one has to follow a bush pig!


Wow! I hope the charge was captured on video.Glad to hear that everyone came out unscathed.

Yes. We have everything on video.

And we had a trail camera at the bait.

Which actually captured a few seconds of our approach. But from far away!

This is the second lion charge we have experienced.

20 years ago we got charged by a lioness after we shot a lion.

She was a bit closer than this one.

A few years ago a lion attacked our blind.

Tearing holes in it while we were inside in total darkness clap

Part of hunting .

Saeed, are those six Dugga Boys the Camp Buffalo?

When I was there a month ago, we had eight Dugga Boys hanging around camp regularly. Sometimes they were in the riverbed, right in front of our tents. Are these the same bulls?

The six buffalo were a few kilometers from camp.

We are using the DJI MAVIC 3 PRO drone.

It has 1x,3x and 7x cameras.

Went to the lake trying to shoot a hippo as bait for a croc.

And despite walking long distances along the lake shores, we were not successful.

Shot a wildebeest on the way back.

Tony shot a buffalo.

Maktoum shot a reedbuck with his bow.

Really enjoying the photos. Keep ‘em coming!
I always try to learn how to take better pictures by studying yours.

Great report as always Saeed, thank you for the effort to do this for "the rest of us". Amazing footage - I truly hope you post up the lion charge.


Regards,

Great photos of the big reedbucks you caught as they were just calmly standing there.

I also love the photo of the dagga boys all standing still and clocking the drone.

Talk about busted! Big Grin

Yet they remained calm.

It seems like the hunting party have all dialed in on the wildebeest!

IMHO, the Nyasa subspecies is the only beautiful wildebeest. I love the blueish-gray and black brindling and that pure white chevron!

Great photos all around, Saeed, as usual!

Beautiful photos as always, Saeed

How old was that lion that charged you?

With the numbers of crocs in the lake, retrieving the hippo had to be a scary proposition. I imagine Robert & Nyoni were rather puckered when the water got over knee deep.

Interesting to see that within a few minutes, between 0431-0437, the temperature rose by 4oC!

I was thinking the same. I would be very loath to venture into those waters.
