WARNING: Graphic content. Guests of Africa on Foot witnessed a once in a lifetime sighting the other day. While watching the three Ross lionesses, one of them stared intently into the night. Suddenly she lunged forward and pounced on an unsuspecting honey badger behind some thick foliage. After a few moments rangers Mike Beard and John Dixon were able to get the landrovers into position to witness the lioness slowly killing the honey badger. It was not easy to watch and the honey badger put up a tremendous fight. It took the lioness a full 20 odd minutes to finally kill the honey badger. A testament to just how tough these fearless creatures are.
