A Warthog burrow, the Lions close and the Landi stuck :-)
Today I got my Land Rover properly stuck for the first time. While we were trying to get close to a pride of Lions resting in thick bush I dropped my right back wheel into the entrance of an old Warthog borrow which was filled with water (it looked like a puddle!).
So Bheki and I got to work while are guests remained on the vehicle. In close proximity to the Lions we used a high-lift-jack to lift the car out of the hole, placed two special “mud-ramps” under the wheel and drove the car out of the hole. This was a first such rescue mission for me. The guest thought the procedure was very exciting.
So for today I have chosen a Lion picture (taken today – a cub hugging an adult’s tail for comfort) and a picture of two Warthogs (taken a while ago – two males fighting).
I have no pictures of the vehicle rescue (I was otherwise engaged at the time :-))
Christian, I consider your photos and stories as getting a gift a day! I think my favorite so far was yesterdays..I had to laugh whenever I thought of that mama taking a dunk on her baby’s head. Great photos today too! Thanks again for sharing.
