I was constantly amazed when we went on game drives, how close we were able to get to lions, so long as we stayed in the vehicle. We went on one game drive at Mombo where we saw one pride of lions that consisted I think of around 20 different individuals, including about 10 cubs. According to our drivers, we were able to get close to lions because they were not afraid of us, but did not view us as prey, because they viewed us as part of the vehicle, so long as we were inside the vehicle. It was exhilarating and also somewhat terrifying, all at the same time!
