Tarengire Safari 2009

With Graham White visiting us for a couple of weeks, our social lives have undergone a bit of a renaissance. Naturally he was keen to go on safari, and we were able to negotiate a special price since we send so much business in the companies’ direction, so we too went along.

Tarengire is said to be especially good after long periods of drought, because the animals group together wherever water is still available.

I posted a few of our photographs for you. We were particularly fortunate to witness a female lion making a kill. It’s rare enough, but you’ll see from our photos that the lioness was pregnant, and opted to smother the poor wildebeest rather than going for the jugular. It took some time, and was obviously rather draining for the lion. (Come to think of it, it was very draining indeed for the wildebeest.)
