Who needs Kruger?

We took advantage of some time off last week & decided to take a day trip into Kruger. Whilst being treated to some great sightings of elephants wallowing & many herbivores, we had no luck with the elusive carnivores. Until we returned to Balule that is... where just 5 minutes into the reserve we came across a lone lioness lying across the road. With dusk coming on fast she moved a little way into the bush and began calling softly to pride mates out of sight before eventually heading off into thicker vegetation and dissapearing from view.
