Description
Luangwa River, Sth Luangwa Nat Park- ZAMBIA
MAY 2025
A 5mth old male Lion cub runs the brave gauntlet of 5 separate big Crocodiles before being
taken by the 6th in a once in a lifetime dramatic & tragic sighting!
Earlier the Nsefu pride had crossed the Luangwa River to find that 6 had got caught by the flow and trapped on the very high riverbank, with 4 adults scrambling to safety leaving 2 cubs to the fate of these ancient predators!
Watching this play out from the opposite side of the river, my guide and I felt helpless as we witnessed this powerful and unforgettable scene. This brave little male finally succumbed to the biggest Crocodile on this stretch of the river and once again his helpless and injured
mother watching from above, tracked his fate all the way.
Yes Crocodiles also need to feed, but they are times, silent cold blooded killers.
