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 .

Question: Why were you not able to find the lions or track them yet ?
Answer: It was too hot out and the lions had retreated to the shaded and mountaineous areasNone of the above choices .The lions were too dangerous so the tour guide deliberately avoided themThe lions were tired of being harassed by people and so they avoided people as much as they could
