Going On A Lion Hunt
October 21, 2008 
We spent Tuesday evening at Bakubung Lodge near the Pilanesberg Nature Reserve. Pilane was a Zulu general. This is the place to see the “big five” in wild game–elephants, rhinoceroses, lions, leopards and buffalo. We went on the sunset game drive and saw rhinos, hippos, elephants, giraffes and a bird sanctuary. The nice part is the animals are in their natural state. They aren’t fed daily by humans and they are free to roam over 220 hectares of open land.
We got the most entertainment from the elephants. We even saw a mother with her baby, which reminded us of the classic Disney movie, Dumbo. And that mother, was just as protective as Mrs. Jumbo, shielding her baby from the cameras.
Tomorrow, we rise early for the morning game drive before heading to Sun City, which is similar to Las Vegas.
