Lions aren’t typically fond of getting their paws wet, but this pride showed that when hunger calls, nothing stands in the way. In a riveting display of coordinated power, strategy, and unrelenting pursuit, these lions took on the Sabie River and the impala herd beyond it!
As safari-goer Al was making his way down the H4-1 near Lower Sabie in Kruger National Park, he spotted a pride of lions, about eight to nine members, making their way towards the Sabie River. Big cats are notoriously reluctant to get wet, so Al’s curiosity piqued as he pondered what was driving the pride into the water.
Moving with slow, deliberate steps, they entered the river one by one, keeping low and quiet as they advanced toward the opposite bank. After scanning the other side of the river, Al spotted the source of the pride’s motivations: a large herd of impala grazing along the hillside.
