Lions and Hippos and Gnu, oh my!

Today’s game drive was a lot of fun – we found lions for the first time at Makanyi, enjoying a well-fed sleep after dispatching a young buffalo overnight.

After the game drive, Diane and I spent some time with Anja, the resort’s guest photography expert, who helped me cull and edit my photos and taught me more about how to use Lightroom in the process. Thank her for the improvements in today’s photos!
