Lion takes down kudu on the road in Kruger

Posted by Anita Froneman on 15 February 2022

It’s not often you get to see a kill on safari. A lion taking down a kudu right on the road? Even rarer. Several safari guests in Kruger National Park recently witnessed this scene right in front of their cars.

Liana Bierman, who was the first on the scene, told Latest Sightings: ‘We turned a corner on our way to Lower Sabie and a male lion had just stepped into the road in front of us! It was busy patrolling its territory. We ended up following him for around 2-3km. This was the last thing we expected would happen.’

Another lucky guest, Nicole Tobias added: ‘For anyone else lucky enough to see a kill, try and take it all in, even though your adrenaline is surging. And please try be considerate as you can, we saw lions tracking down the road the next day too, and once again, cars followed them on both sides of the road, pushing in from behind us constantly’.
