Visitors in the Night: Large Lion sends the Baboons barking

Yet to be seen, over the last month we have been regularly visited by a VERY LARGE male lion! So far, we have only been able to identify him by his tracks, nevertheless, night after night he comes into the lodge, unnoticed and silent. Leaving no sign except barking baboons and his tracks, he has us all intrigued and we are waiting until our first sighting. Obviously shy, our night-watchmen have only caught him as he has been leaving so have not had a good look as yet. However, he has made himself at home slowly walking from the dining area, to the director’s area, through the maintenance yard and finally leaving via the staff compound. We are all interested to see the impact his presence has on our friendly resident leopard; however, we are pleased to say we are regularly seeing his tracks too!
