Yesterday evening, as I arrived on Banyini, I got a call from one of the guides. He was with Manyari and the two males on a buffalo kill. I made my way over to the kill. Another lioness had joined them and all were absolutely full, unable to squeeze in the smallest morsel.

The males were lying next to eachother, staring into space. I imagine, like me, when you have eaten too much you can only think of the unpleasant stretching of you stomach!

Behind us was a baobab tree, full of vultures hanging like ripe fruit. In fact, a couple of branches in nearby mopane trees broke under the weight of the vultures.
