A lioness surveys a golden hour morning from the shoulder of a termite mound.
Mbiza pan, with it's tall Borassus palms is very different to Hwange's usual broadleafed woodland, acacia and grasslands, a little oasis in the desert, just beautiful both @ sunrise and sunset and reminded me of Duba in Botswana.

Mbiza Pan- Hwange NP, Zimbabwe.

A lovely and evocative image Marc, it reminds me of Botswana too. The big cats soon find out that the termite mounds store the sun's heat during the day and then act as a hot water bottle during the chilly night, as well as providing a good hiding place!
