as dusk was setting in kruger

17 august 2004, dusk 1 kilometre from lower sabie camp : an extraordinary half-hour
left to right, top to bottom :
- a hyaena begins to move
- a lioness ahead
- she is not alone, minutes later the scene through my windscreen
- and moments later...a lion broadside
- two males pass on the right
- then lay down
- others follow this lead; what danger ?
- an old male cogitates
- the view from beyond the road block...

onto lower sabie camp, the gates now closed, to explain : it is and rightly so a cardinal rule in kruger as in other parks that one must be in camp before closing time (which varies according to sunset).
