WILD AFRICA has again surprised, delighted and stunned visitors to South Africa's Kruger National Park.
Tuesday, the online version of the United Kingdom-based newspaper, The Daily Mail, ran a series of photographs of a lioness attacking a buffalo in the midst of a convoy of cars whose drivers had stopped to view the animals.
The series of photos was first posted to social media site Flickr by a user called 'Mgdonny'.
Already the article has elicited more than 160 online comments from readers and web surfers who expressed a range of emotions and opinions. They range from "I can't believe nobody helped that poor buffalo", to "Wow! These pictures are amazing! I wish I could have seen it!"
This article and series of pictures follows on other such amazing wild encounters in South Africa that have made international headlines: the Battle at Kruger (in which a pride of lions and a crocodile compete for a buffalo calf); and Battle of the Beasts (in which a leopard attacks and kills an adult crocodile). Each of these amazing natural scenes played out in South Africa's Kruger National Park.
"We are proud of our precious and beautiful natural wilderness areas in South Africa where people from all over the world may come to see these primeval and awesome displays of wild nature.
"South Africa offers pristine, unspoiled natural beauty and the wherewithal to enjoy that beauty in comfort with all the modern infrastructure demanded by experienced travellers. One can experience wildness in South Africa, whilst enjoying all the comforts one needs and demands," said Roshene Singh, chief marketing officer at South African Tourism (SAT).
