Thomson Safaris www.thomsonsafaris.com/ delivered everything they promised, when they promised. I recommend them.

Thank you Alan! I bought that little Nikon camera primarily because it got high ratings on its video function and shot at full resolution. What a trip we took!

[@poussy9252]

what happened to this poor buffalo?

[@vgy78uhbnji9]

We missed how this all started, so do not know if the lions crippled the buffalo or it was some other incident.

This bull was already doomed. Looks like a broken left foot I'm sure the lions didn't cause initially?
