Kruger Sightings - Sunset Game Drive - February 14 2011

oh good afternoon everybody and a warm welcome to Juma game reserve here in South Africa and we have one of Africa's icons just in front of us here the African Lon beautiful family here female the three unuma females the other female with the Cubs isn't with them at the moment but they have been joined by the two gajima males again and it is wonderful to see that they've stayed here on the quarantine area my name's Tara Herman's joined me on camera and back in front of control is maloi looks like they're pretty settled in for the afternoon I'd like to just stay with them just for a few moments and then we'll move on and come back a little bit later I think and they pretty much stayed here for the rest of the day by the looks of it sound with it being carried for many kilometers is a very useful tool in the bush to locate each other shame there's the short mained male for it doesn't look like he's going to be moving let's see if we can go for a little drive around see if there's anything else out there this afternoon and come back a little bit later on maybe we might see some action with them roaring and trying to to relocate the other female it'd be wonderful to catch up with those Cubs again but let's leaving to the nap for now yeah there she goes head down enjoy your Slumber guys and girls half of me could stay with them for the kajima I don't think they spend too much time away from those females from what I can see could be that it's only the yumas in their pride or in their territory should I say this is where the Impala are hanging out at the moment now this is really just a snack for a lion I mean if the Lions did take down Impala if they took down one it' just really be a snack and probably the males would end up eating it before the females really had a chance to see part of it so I do need something a little bit more substantial but if if they're hungry enough they may just hunting parlor we're getting one or two drops we're going to try and see if we can escape the rain it's not too heavy at the moment one drop here one drop there so I'm going to see if we can maybe head down maybe looks a little bit clearer further on and to the left to the right sorry a very strong smell there's a lot of elephant ding on the road as well and with's not really knowing this one I'm not going to get too close because when a bull is in must there's a hiding level of testosterone around his body and sometimes they can become quite aggressive what we found is generally the older bull elephants seem to be quite relaxed you should never take that for granted around here cuz that one time that you do you could end up having a problem look at that so impressive for as soon as he's heading off in that direction let's leave him to it and continue on we may even bump into him as we head around towards maybe twin dams or Treehouse Dam area opposite the andela leading down to the dam sorry guys what TOS disappearing into the bush I hope people stopped off there's still one there he's gone oh more water hog in the road you there you're going to walk off the road you want to be on camera crusted Franklin so we actually moved off the road with its partner they are monogamous and they have a song when they sing together they duet and it sounds like one bird the Lions further north now that could be why the Lions move South and taken up a refuge spot in the middle of this open area here so they have taken another spot so the Impala don't know that they're here anymore uh station approaching the engala I've got your visual you should get mine fairly soon copy thank you got your visual and we'll see if we can maybe go this time maybe towards Rebecca's Road Zoe's Road and do a small loop around there there's a mother you able to see her a bit clearly I think little one's going back to her the stations I've left the angala one station from arus are in the [Applause] lock and I've also got some more glove here on Rebecca's Road located uh some more and love on Rebecca's Road thank you there's baby seeing what mom's eating there we go oh what I went for we've had with the enuma and the gajima males and I'm really glad that they have stuck around all day it really is a treat to have them here and I'm hoping they're going to stick around a little bit longer maybe even you might hear them later on this evening on the water Hall camera so definitely listen out for that and they may even go down to drink but I don't think they're going to be moving anytime soon we'll keep our air to the ground and if we do hear or see anything then we'll certainly try and let you guys know and if we're able to try and film it then we will do but I think for now I think it's going to be a while before we do wake up everyone else seems to be quite relaxed so thank you very much for joining us today I hope you've had a wonderful day with us here on wild Earth thanks home for all your camera work and Lucy back in front of control I'll see you again tomorrow for our next Safari so take care everyone I'll see you again soon bye tomorrow
