weetwaters is a private game preserve and gave us our first taste of a tent camp. We had the (usual) buffet dinner and were given game drives before and after. It was pretty cold that night but we found a hot water bottle in our bed and life was good. We had our only night game drive of the trip and were all sitting in the vehicles freezing until a male lion jumped in front of us and stayed just ahead of our bumper for more than a half mile. It reached a climax when he stepped off to the side of road and, as we stopped and watched, used a tree for a scratching post just like any cat. Some pussy cat!
