Hochberger advised LatestSightings.com the story: “Since 2016, I spend Christmas in South Luangwa, Zambia. I was lucky enough to be able to go there again, this time with a very good friend, who is also a guide.”
“I’ve carried out many sport journeys in the National Park. This 12 months, nonetheless, the whole lot was totally different. I needed to wait 17 days to see the primary lions!
“As lions normally do in the course of the day, they have been simply laying lazily at a lagoon. During the afternoon drive, Stephen and I had deliberate to go to the lions once more. To our astonishment, there was now a useless hippo in the lagoon.
“The lionesses have been nonetheless on the fringe of the water and didn’t actually know what to do, as a result of there have been additionally crocodiles in the water. A lioness then made the beginning, and somewhat later the male lion adopted from the opposite facet. By the tip, the entire satisfaction took their meal.
“Halfway by the lions consuming the hippo, the hippo immediately let off an enormous bursting sound, nearly like a gunshot! Often when animals die, they turn out to be bloated and filled with gasoline, it was now the lion’s consuming that triggered a puncture, permitting the gasoline to flee.
“It was simply indescribable and engaging, and I believe it was additionally distinctive to comply with the entire state of affairs.
“Thanks to my friend, Stephen, we had the place with the best perspective. I’ve never seen anything like this before in all the years I’ve been on game drives there. You can’t plan something like that either, it’s just luck to be in the right place at the right time. Anyway, I can say that the South Luangwa National Park is one beautiful park and definitely worth a visit.”
