Lion attacking Cape Buffalo at Chitake Springs Mana Pools National Park Zimbabwe

Late September at Chitake Springs in Mana Pools NP Zimbabwe. Our amazing guide Nick Murry, owner of Bushlife Safaris, put us in perfect position to see a pride of 30 lions attack 300 very thirsty Cape Buffalo charging down to drink from the only water available for many miles. We were standing on the edge of the bluff with no other people around. We have seen some amazing sights with our 8 safaris with The Africa Adventure Company, but nothing compared to this. The sight and sound was incredible. With my adrenalin running, I got quite emotional in my narration, so if you don't want to hear me saying OMG many times, don't turn on the sound.

A great video Dave. Mana Pools is incredible. I will never forget seeing a herd of 300 elephants and later at least 1000 cape buffalo while on safari there in 2004. IK have done 3 more safaris in other spots in Africa, but I have never seen the massive herds of animals that I saw while in Zimbabwe at Mana Pools. Thanks to Nigel Robey, our guide there.

At first it appears the buffalo have a pretty good strategy. Then it seems more evident that they are playing right into the lions hands. As long as they keep the buffalo stampeding back and forth the lions can pick out a calf or two. Great video. thanks for sharing

Buffalos tried hard as much as they could to defend the youngsters. Lions managed to secure a snack, even if a muddy one. Poor calf had seen its' last day, one or two more calves might have been seriously injured. Cloud of dust was Incredible.

Thanks for the video! Loved It! I didn’t see 4 buffaloes killed, maybe I missed something. I did see almost kills and then one actual calf killed. I saw that one sub adult male Lion too. Where did he go because it looked like 3 lionesses on that one calf killed at the end. Thanks for sharing!

[@Pink8956]

While I was filming, I thought I saw 4 buffalos killed, but there were more. The two wounded calves (that appeared to have escaped in my video) made it up the opposite bluff with the herd but one of the male lions could not resist the sight of wounded calves, sprinted up the hill in a flash, and killed the calves. When the dust settled, we counted 7 dead buffalo calves each with a few lions sitting on them. There were 30 lions total, all with a meal that morning. I did not have a close enough view of the 7 carcasses to include them in the video, plus it would have been even more graphic. I was afraid the video was too graphic to begin with.
