Driving into Samburu National Reserve recently, we were treated to a lovely lion scene. In the distance we could see the prominent Leopard Rock on top of which were sitting what looked like lions. We drove up slowly and sure enough, we saw a small lion cub sitting at the top of Leopard Rock, and soon after 4 more cubs appeared. The 5 cubs were enjoying the last few minutes of the sun as it was about to set. We couldn’t see the mothers anywhere but the cubs did not appear to be too bothered that they were alone. They had a fantastic view of the plains around. This was the first time I have seen lions sitting on this well known rock formation – come to think of it, I have never seen a leopard here either. Maybe it should be renamed! Here are a few photos of the cubs.
