Christmas Day has come and gone, I spent the day with family in Mutare and enjoyed the sunset in the hills.
In case you’re wondering, there was no Chanel No. 5 to celebrate our anniversary, but a little form was shown with a sunset cruise on Malilangwe Dam where we spotted an Osprey having an argument with a Marabou Stork, the Marabou ended up with the fish, but the Osprey looked pretty determined to teach the Marabou some table manners.
Banyini Pan has been drying up with the intense heat, but half a kilometer to the south is natural pan teaming with life. This is where I found a secretary bird for the first time in our stay at Malilangwe - graceful birds, always a great sighting.
I also managed to catch up with the lions on Banyini one evening. Magwaza’s three cubs are out and about, they are joining the hunt now and outdoing the adults at times - when they can stop playing about and focus on the task at hand of course. One of the cubs pulled down an Impala calf, interestingly enough, the lionesses left the cubs to fight over the small impala on their own without interfering. There are so many young impala around it’s difficult not to run into them around every corner.
Holiday season will soon fade away, but for the baboons every day is a swing in the trees.
Happy New Year, rich blessings, stay safe!
Those lions are too cute! Happy New Year to everyone. Brilliant sunset shot there, Mark, absolutely breath-taking, the same for the rest of the photos as well.
Just to be curious, do you know when Kim will be back on?
Ah, Great to see the lions again! I’ve missed them! How’s Sjambok and Manyari?
I can’t believe how big the cubs are and that they’ve survived. Seems like just a couple of months ago we found out she had some! It’s good to see them looking well.
It’s good you’ve had a beautiful Christmas if that sunset is any indication.
Thank you for wildcast.
Happy Christmas Mark and Kylie. We enjoyed watching the Lions, beautiful…
Excelent videos and pictures. I love it
congrats
Victor
Hope the new year goes well for your studies and filming!
They grow up so fast….THANK YOU for sharing and letting us be a part of it. Hoping you have the Happiest of New Years!!!
They are so big! I thought she had three. Are they both males?
Mark! Muchas, muchas GRACIAS for the late Christmas present, New Year’s present AND one of my nicest 41st wedding anniversary presents: lions! ‘Twas great to see Magwaza, and like everyone else, am amazed at how much the ones that were wee have grown! Loved the one lying down, blinking at the bright: “What’s this?” Do all cubs have the black on the back of their ears? Had read where it was just the females, but one of these looks to be a male. Have you by any chance heard anything of Manyari and her three cubs?
Congratulations on your anniversary. A sunset together in Africa trumps a bottle of Chanel No. 5 any day! Sharing time together is what really, really counts.
A happy and healthy New Year to all!
Its great to see the lion cubs again of course, but it begs the question how happy they are at having a bright light following them at night!
Happy New year to yourself, Kylie , Kim and the girls.
Look forward to the 2010 posts.
Where is Manyari?
Happy New Year to you all in good health. And I agree with BonnyTexas. Spending some time with my wife is countless, allthough spending too much time with my wife……
