The Lion King - Okavango Delta

We tracked this male lion in our vehicle finding his tracks in the sand along the road as he was following a herd of buffalo. So after half and hour of driving we found a huge herd of buffalo and sat and watched. Within minutes this male lion's head popped up and he made a very unsuccessful attempt at stalking them. We discovered later that he had injured his back leg. The ranger didn't hold out much hope for him but some months later on a subseuent visit we found him again, hale and hearty
