Notes:   Certain members of our group, having endured a bumpy ride from Nxabega to Xigera Airstrip, had been about to leap from the Landy to dive behind a bush when this pair sat up out of the wet grass. Just shows you, you can never be too careful. Subsequently the other vehicle, with passengers from Xigera, arrived, These were the first lions their guests had seen, so they were suitably thrilled.
