Hi All, I wanted to share a series of amazing photographs I received from one of our Arusha guides Stanford Milinga, that his guests took. He was out on a Safari in the Seronera part of the Serengeti with his clients when they came onto the bellow scene, it is a tremendous battle between some lions and a big bull Buffalo. When it started, Stanford and his guests were the only people there and then was later joined by Harry Lucas and his guests.
It is indeed amazing and very lucky to witness something like this while on Safari and although many guests would like to see a kill from start to finish, it is seldom seen and when it does happen guests are often shocked as to how violent it is and then don't want to watch anymore, its not always a nice clean fast kill. This battle lasted for almost thirty minutes to one hour before the lions managed to finally kill the Buffalo, note how they keep away from those sharp horns in the front and keep attacking the Buffalo from the back. Basically what they are trying to do is tire the Buffalo out and get it of its feet only then can they go in for a kill by grabbing the animals neck and suffocating it.
Well done Stanford this is indeed a once in a lifetime sighting.
