The early bird gets the worm

We were up by 5:30 this morning so we could be on the road before the sunrise.  Once the sun starts to rise here, it rises very quickly.  You didn't feel the least bit tired when you were greeted with a view like this.

 

We travelled for a half hour or so before we came upon a pride of lions that were sitting among a herd of kob deer.  There were three lions, two lionesses and six cubs.

 

It is only 11:00 am and I think we have had a pretty good day so far!
