Lion cub

Our experience also highlights how worthwhile it is to get private game drives (if affordable). With most non-photographic game drives the focus is all about racking up the number of species seen and, as such, only a very limited time is given to staying with any one animal. Indeed, while we were with these Lions a couple of other jeeps arrived and left after five minutes. With a private drive we could focus purely on what we wanted to see, and with such an obliging opportunity as this we had absolutely no intention of moving on. Fortunately for the three of us it was only £20 extra per drive per person!
