Sounds great Judge. What a treat it must have been to see the cheetahs and lions. Sounds like the safari was already a success. | |||

How in the world do you do extensive tracking in 120 deg heat? I have problems at 95 deg and have re3frained from taking late hunts in the heat. Do you only hunt early mornings or late evenings??? or have a constant sundowner in your hand to kill the pain  Dak | |||

Keep them coming Judge! That cheetah scene must have been like something right out of Big Cat Diaries. In the Luangwa we watched a pride of three female lions make a go for a herd of about 20 impala. While driving back the main dirt track at night, we spotted the first female stalking in the road in front of us. She never even turned around or acknowledged our presence. She crouched "just like a cat" staying low in the trail and out of site of the impala. When she could get no closer, she charged, splitting up the impala and driving half of the herd to two other females that were laying in ambush in the tall grass. I was using my Surefire to spot this, and I didn't catch it all. Somehow they missed, and maybe our presence prematurely alerted the impala and spoiled their plan. But they were continuing where they left off when we departed. I could have watched them all night. Another time we were sneaking up (or so we thought) on a warthog who was grazing in a dried mud flat surrounded by tall grass. We thought he winded us (and may have), as he took off like a bolt of lightning. A few seconds later, a disappointed lioness's head appeared in the tall grass, not more then 10-yards from the warthog. That was one very lucky piggy. It does not take more then a few experiences like this to make a trip extra special. I look forward to your next installment. Africa is indeed a great healer. Regards, Bill | |||
