We found several prides of lions in the area, however the rarest sighting was a mother with three cubs that were so young that they had not yet been brought into her pride. We found them in the high grass playing and curiously looking at us, their mother had gone hunting. They were very difficult to see moving around in the high grass. I got lots of pictures, this is the only one where they all look up, and most eyes are open.
The next day we searched for them again in the same place and found them close-by with their mother suckling the young ones.
We also found a couple about to mate - or not? We waited for a while. And while I don't like the paparazzi voyeurish trait of photography, the others wanted to wait and so we did.
not yet - let's wait some more ....

She is not happy about his advances.
This is frustrating - What should I do with her?
Let's wait... bad mood.
not yet - let's wait some more .... 
He is losing patience.
This looks promising - let's wait some more ...
Keeping her paws warm might help.
Not yet - but he seems to be the gentleman and has lots of patience.
We left and decided to come back the next day.
We found another pride, a male and his harem with little ones!
not the most elegant way of resting
full belly - bloody paws
Don't wake Daddy.
