Drama in camp tonight. We are in a “tent” camp (aka cabins with canvas walls) and are not allowed to go from the main dining tent to our tent without a (spear) armed escort. Which seems a little over kill, right? Here is a “tent” with our daughter on the patio

It is a buffalo carcass. A lion pride took it down sometime overnight. Basically everyone heard it. The lions were still there in the morning when the closest people opened their door. But then they left. We saw the line of them marching away.

Also: that’s a wildebeest not a buffalo. And also also: the lions were all around tonight too. I watched them stroll by 10 feet away.

It's crazy how they hollowed out the wildebeest like scooping ice cream out of a container. Also, the flies lost no time. It seems like there's still meat on the front end. When the lions came back, was it for seconds?

The carcass was relocated. Apparently the camp decides having wildebeest remains between two tents was not a great thing. Did see one buffalo carcass today from a kill yesterday and the vultures were scooping out the remains of the insides.
