Steve got out of the vehicle and was so engrossed with following the lion tracks, diligently explaining his movements to the safari group, that he didn’t realise he was walking right into the Nkuhuma pride of lions that was hidden in the long, golden grass. <span style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" data-mce-type="bookmark" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span> ‘Oh my word,’ Steve repeatedly proclaimed, as he realised where he was heading just in time as the lions got up and started to move off. ‘We’ve just bumped into a pride of lion.’ ‘Today’s tracks were very, very fresh,’ he later joked.
