These filmmakers don’t miss a thing! I’m amazed at how they’re able to see the minuscule details from so far away!
Wow those lion cubs just let out such a loud squeaky roar! It’s absolutely adorable!
I love Lion stories!
I love how the male lion is keeping a closeful eye on his pride roaring in the background!
I so love adorable lion cubs!
I can’t believe how quickly the lions tore up that buck and each lion took a piece!
I LOVE IT 🙏🥰🙏
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR AMAZING JOURNEY WITH US 🙏🦁🙏🐆🦓🦒

You're welcome, thanks for watching! :)
It’s amazing how the lions focus in on the vehicles but seldom attack!
Michael thank you for sharing. I visited both PomPom and Kwara back in Dec/21, and believe the leopards to be the same that I saw!! I knew the moment I heard your Kwara guide's voice that it was Wago. He was my guide at Lebala, and couldn't appreciate his skills more.
anytime @TracyAndersen I'm glad you liked the vid! That's so cool that they were the same leopards you saw. I love keeping track of particular animals.
Yep Wago is one of the best guides I've had - I hope to see him again next time!
I have to say that the Lion is truly one of GOD’s greatest creations!
Lucky you, other than buffaloes you almost saw all there is to excite about the Okavango
Agreed - I've been very lucky with sightings, and this trip was no exception :)
These two males in the middle of the video are Splash's five males. These males took control at the end of 2019 after they killed the old king Skoula and expelled his sister Cotman at that time They all have names and in the video they are Josiah and Matyo They fought a battle last year with Zalu's men at Al-Shanidi and lost the battle after two of them were seriously wounded. But the five males came back to try again in January of this year and killed one of the males of Al-Shenidi or the males of Zalo, and expelled the remaining two and took control of the resident pride At present they are the strongest controlling force in Kwara and the strongest alliances are shown in the Okvango Delta.
Thank you @HassanMohammed! You are absolutely the expert on Botswana's male lion coalitions, I really appreciate your input!
@@michaelwillis2295 Welcome, we are so honored
@HassanMohammed just curious if you recognize either of these males from my visit to Kwara Camp in 2018? I am not sure if they are now part of the coalition of 5 that is now in control in Kwara: th-cam.com/video/sEMPs71j0hw/w-d-xo.html
@@michaelwillis2295 No, they are their former male enemies before the five males. The male in the back is the one who was killed by the five males
@@hassanmohammed8219 I understand - poor guy! Thank you again :)
