premise: We soon found out that they were following a herd of buffalo , and also found their tracks ... but no lions . We did find the buffalo herd though ( of course ) . Other interesting sightings that morning ; waterbuck , and two very old giraffes ( with faded skin patterns ) . Also good pics that morning ; coucal and carmine bee eater . Why were you not able to find the lions or track them yet ?
hypothesis: It was too hot out and the lions had retreated to the shaded and mountaineous areas
