Manfred really stepped it up today when out of nowhere in the middle of nowhere under some ordinary unassuming bush he found a band of brothers, well fed and sleeping.  They did not even raised their heads when we pulled up.  Having said that, I think the only thing that stopped the lions from eating us was two machetes and  the fact that at least the four of us  would immediately soil our pants in self-defence – and that is no joke!
