We count down the top 10 lion sightings from the different live waterhole cameras situated around South Africa and Kenya
#10: Tembe Lioness hunting a baby nyala
F70, the lioness, who spends a lot of time by the Tembe Elephant Park waterhole, waited patiently for the perfect opportunity to ambush her prey. The unsuspecting nyala lamb was no match for the skilled huntress.
#9: Male Lions Investigate Crocodiles
Three large male lions decide to check out some crocodiles at Tau, in Madikwe game reserve. The crocodiles are not amused by the lions curiosity and snap back at the lions. The Nile crocodile has a much stronger bite force than a lion and could easily kill a lion if they got their teeth into one.
#8: Lions vs Elephant
A funny moment captured on the live waterhole camera at Tembe Elephant Park, three young lions learning about the African wildlife! The youngsters practice their hunting skills on an oblivious elephant. It is all fun and games until the elephant realizes what is happening behind him.
#7: Lions vs Buffalo
Another crazy lion sighting captured on the Tembe live waterhole camera, the same young lions trying their luck with some unsuspecting buffalo. This time it seems the lions are playing a game of tag with the unwilling buffalo. A funny scene unfolds as the buffalo become aware of the lions antics
#6: Lion Fight
A strange sighting captured on the ol Donyo Lodge live waterhole camera in Kenya. The famous collared male lion, Olkirikoi, decides to attack one of the sub-adults. The lions were peacefully having a drink and heard something off in the distance, which then prompted the attack. Misplaced aggression? A crazy lion sighting indeed!
#5: Male Lion Hits The Camera
Although we do not wish for our live waterhole cameras to interfere with the wildlife, it is always amusing when the wildlife interferes with the cameras (excluding any damage). This young male lion from the Imbali pride, found the Nkorho camera which is situated in the Sabi Sands, to be quite amusing. The movement or the sound of the camera caught his attention and he decided to take a swipe at the camera. Luckily no injury to cat or camera.
#4: Lioness Stalks Zebra
An intense scene captured on the Naledi Dam camera at Naledi Lodge in Balule game reserve, South Africa. A lioness stalking a lone zebra heading to the water. A patient cat and a nervous horse. The chase goes off screen but a defeated lioness emerges later on…
#3: Lion Hides From Elephant
A popular video on social media, this crazy lion sighting was captured at Naledi Dam in Balule game reserve. A lioness resting by the waterhole finds an elephant coming for a drink. An entertaining scene unfolds as the lioness hides behind the well, unsure what to do about her new friend. Once the elephant realizes the lioness is there, chaos erupts with water, trumpeting and a high-speed getaway.
#2: Male Lions Fight
Another Tembe lion sighting. This time it involves the two new dominant males and a female. The one male is busy mating with the female when the other male rushes in an attacks his brother.
#1: Lions Play With Zebra Foal
Not for sensitive viewers! A hard scene to watch but one of the craziest lion sightings, two lions catching a zebra foal and then playing with their food before finally killing it. This sighting was captured at Tau in Madikwe game reserve.
