Even more great pictures of lion, buffalo and elephant in Addo on 26 February 2023

Photographer: A Hannington Nikon P900

Note the warthog kill to the right of some of the pictures of the lions. Notice the buffalo herd guarding the young buffalo (young buffalo with gold/brown coat and short horns). And what about the young elephant reaching for the water. Then, shiver when you look at the buffalo bull? Scary close.

Going to Addo is a great experience. How lucky we are to have Addo so close to Port Elizabeth
