Our first sighting was of one of the cubs, relaxing and doing its thing. At some point, we spotted its sibling sitting in the grass further away. As they got closer to each other, our guide knew what to: make sure we’d be at the right spot when they’d meet up, since it was very likely they would be happy to see each other. And they were. Afterwards, they hunted and relaxed together.
