We've spent the last 5 nights in Antelope Park, a resort / game park which has embarked on a mission to improve the large decline in the wild lion population that has been occurring throughout Africa. Antelope Park has almost 100 lions which are semi-tame (i.e. since birth have been subjected to human contact). Eventually the park wants those lions to breed completely wild cubs and lion prides that can be reintroduced to the wild in 'lion friendly areas'.
Photos will follow at another occasion, but Jen and I got to walk with two female lions (aged ~18 months), pat them and watch them stalk a Zebra, watch male lions compete for food in a massive meal frenzy and go on a night encounter where we followed 3 lions go hunting at night. 3 highly unique experiences, coupled with a very comfortable and picturesque setting.
Off to the Zimbabwe ruins today and then onto Harare I think (where we can add some photos)
