Lets Ngoma & Joel Body took their guests walking on Palm Island this morning. A few of them already saw lions on yesterday’s walk, but from a distance. The guests joining on the walk were Mr & Mrs Grehl travelling with Mr & Mrs Mess from Germany, Claude & Susanne Chatelain from Switzerland and John & Kate English from the UK.
They saw 2 lions from a distance and started circling them to get closer. Nearing them, only 1 was visible, so they decided to wait a little. While Lets was standing with the guests, Body walked to a nearby termite mound to get some height and saw another 2 lionesses. This young male (as in the photograph) was watching him and stood up. Lets said it took about 2 seconds before the male turned around and started approaching them, walking slowly, grunting. Lets started shouting at him after which he turned around and went back.

Lets was concentrating to keep his guests calm, but as he says – “Everyone stood their ground!”
