watering hole chat site sunday sept 14 2008
As someone who has visited NK and other lodges many times in the past, the vehicles don't chase the animals away. This lion drank very comfortably for a long time and didn't look at all stressed. He moved away, looked around and then came back - again, not a stressed animal. I don't think our sighting would have been any longer if the vehicle had not been there.
First part of lion vid is beeing uploaded now, for anyone that missed it, will do snd as soon as the first is finished 
At dusk I heard zebra alarms so maybe he has been around for awhile.
Peter, they come out in the jeeps so the guests at the lodge can see the animals. This guy didn't seem to be afraid of much, although I don't think he liked the jeep and lights much. He calmed down when the humans and machines quieted down. Most of the animals around there are accustomed to the landies and humans, I think. I thought the helicopters were going to scare them away but they didn't.
Now that is a brave bookie at the finger just now-- nk. Just were the lion was.
Yipeeeee, doing the happy dance! I just said yesterday that I had not yet seen a male lion or a smurf at the pans. I will forever think of this big boy when I hear U2's With or Without You, on the radio at the time. My first male lion. 09-14-08

Lion drinking at NK, but why do those ****** ***** in jeeps always drive the lions away from the waterhole? If they're that much of a nuisance why not just shoot them?
