Rain on the African Plain, and Pics

It IS the rainy season and it poured this morning on our early game drive. However, we were saved by wonderful ponchos that were part cosy blanket and part raincover. The kids were good sports to show up at 5:30 on such a wet day. And........we were all rewarded. First off, a journey of six giraffes. Then a nice dazzle of zebras. Then, after lots of radio contact, a pride of 16 lions eating a small zebra killed this morning. What a sight! They all looked a bit bedraggled because of the rain. 
We have just had breakfast and are in our rooms and probably headed for a nap and shower.
