I’m beginning to feel claustrophobic spending all night with the mating lions and going nowhere.
Last night the Manyari and her boy didn’t move more than 100m. They lay holed up in the 6ft high sorghum and setaria grasses, mating only about twice an hour. This being about half the tempo they were going at last night.
The lad must be running out of steam, although Viagra would be proud of his performance. It’s probably her though, those headaches getting too intense.
They really just seem to be in this totally comatosed state. Hardly acknowledging our presence, absolutely no interest in hunting and happy to lie in the same place all night only to wake, mate and collapse asleep again.
The other male could only lie around in the distance calling all night. And not to be outdone the pair would reply.
I left the lions at dawn to get some breathing space and check out a little more of the reserve.
Of course I don’t seem to have missed anything. Well, I just didn’t see remains of any action.
Most of the plains game were around Banyini and a big herd of impala on the airstrip.
I sure hope tonight the lions pluck a little more energy to get slightly more active. But the truth is this could carry on a couple more days.
These two love strucked cats even call in tempo when answering the call of the brother….
If the brother does not mate with her, (by now that is probably the last thing Manyari wants : - ) ) will he remain with them and eventually protect his brother’s offspring?
Thanks Kim!

Thank you, sir, for those roars!
Must say fellow is looking rather gaunt. Now. Here’s praying, hoping, wishing, dreaming that each and every cub lives a long, healthy, free life within the roar of the leopard.
Kim, do you know if the young females Manyari was with prior to this were her daughters?

Hello from Czech republic! Your blog is awsome! It is trully briliant! I love wildlife Africa. True is I never been in Africa, but I dream to photography Africa. Could You help me to dream please?
I spent many hours, or better say many days with search for sound of savanna. It is strange, but I found any. Would you care to publish some sound records of nature savanna sound? Sound in this video clip sounds like a heaven for me. I would be so much happy to have more than a continuous minute of this sound to loop it just to make an atmosphere in my home lounge. 
I wish you a lot of luck and great adventure, and especialy good light for filming and photography! And thank you again for this blog, it makes daily my day for more than a month. Thank You!
Thank you
Innova: yes they’ll remain together and look after each others offspring.
Bonny: not sure which cubs you’re referring to. She’s usually with her cubs.
Vladimir: good idea about sound. I’m going to look at loading sound onto the site regularly if the wind isn’t too bad. Thanks
I hope that the brother’s roars will attract a lady to him, so that he can have some of the fun too.
