We woke to a dark, cloudy day and rain in the Kruger National Park. It was Day Two of five in Kruger after five days of safari in the Ingwelala Private Game Reserve in South Africa. Our agenda for the day was to locate and photograph lions, one of the Big 5 that had eluded us thus far. We have had plenty of other wildlife sightings over the last week, including two of the other members of the Big 5, cape buffalo and elephants. Greg Parker and me set off in our private vehicle rather than in an organized game drive from the reserve. This allowed us to wander freely at our own speed and in locations of our choosing. Greg has been to Kruger many times and a lifelong resident of South Africa and an avid photographer.
Skybed Scar Lion: Witnessing the last days of the King
At Kruger National Park and Game Reserve, I witnessed elephants chase a starving African Lion named Skybed Scar from a waterhole that resulted in its death.
