It's raining cats and dogs!

On a wet morning I normally don’t expect to see much. This morning it was quite literally raining cats and dogs. The heavy rain didn’t stop 5 lions from an opportunistic kill. They were initially lying on the road, and then as the rain increased, moved off into the bush. At first they noticed some zebra in the distance. A slow approach eventually lead to a chase, but unfortunately (for the lions, and us) no kill was made. However, in the confusion of it all, a herd of impala scattered in all directions. One unfortunate lamb made it right into the jaws of one of the lions. It was a quick snack for the lions as the McDonalds of the bush did its job. On the way back to camp luck and timing was on our side again as 4 wild dogs came trotting down the road. The downpour became heavier and the dogs tried to shelter under a bush. After a while they decided to continue and eventually disappeared into the bush. If this is what the summer rains are going to provide, bring it on!
