The Lions of Mala
Mala
We spent three days at
Mala-Mala,
a private reserve that shares an
open border with Kruger National Park. We went there because it
is known for frequent leopard sightings (more on that later) but there are
also
three different lion prides (of which we saw two) whose territory is partly
in
the reserve. These predators pay absolutely no attention to the humans in
the
land rover. They just go about their business. The photo above is a mature
