    This exhilarating sighting was captured by 62-year-old, David Pinkernell, a retired Hewlett Packard employee who enjoys travelling and volunteering for non-profits, while on safari with his wife Carrie and friends of 40 years (Andrea, Brad, and Leslie) in Chitake Springs in Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe.
    David tells LatestSightings.com the story: “Our amazing guide, Nick Murry, owner of Bushlife Safaris, put us in the perfect position to see a pride of 30 lions attack 300 very thirsty Cape Buffalo charging down to drink from the only water source available for many miles. We were standing on the edge of a cliff with no other people around, with no idea that we were going to see something extremely rare!”
    “While at the waterhole, a dramatic back and forth battle occurred between the lions and buffaloes, the adults were doing their best to rescue the calves and after about 10 minutes at the waterhole the buffaloes ran back up the hillside.”
    “As the buffalo ran up the hillside, the two male lions left their initial kills to chase the wounded calves. The two calves who had been rescued by the herd were once again the target and the two male lions went in for the kill this time the adult buffaloes were not able to rescue them.”
    “My adrenalin was running and I got quite emotional but this is nature and it happens every day. It is just extremely rare to get footage of it.”
    “My wife and I have been on 8 safaris arranged by Africa Adventure Company. On three of our trips, we visited Mana Pools. In 150 days on safari, we had never seen a lion kill. On day 3 of this safari, we saw more than 4 lion kills in less than 7 minutes! It was incredibly rare! Although, only 1 successful”
    “We took a big chance travelling during the pandemic and it was quite a logistical challenge getting from the USA to Zimbabwe, but, once we were there, we practically had the national park to ourselves. Thank you to our travel agent Mark Nolting from Africa Adventure Company for helping us organize this incredible safari.”

    The fact that some buffaloes saw the lions take one of their own, ran away and returned with the herd tells me their communication is more advanced than we give it credit for.

    These lions are amazing hunters. They know exactly which one to take down, and the perfect timing and opportunity to do it. Amazing footage!

    The other lion is like the friend who comes out of the washroom after a restaurant bill has been just paid .......😐

    I have so much more respect for them seeing how they were scared off but came back many times for one of their own. Might just be me but loyalty is so important in my eyes.

    This is the most amazing footage from this channel I've seen. Such an amazing display of both predator and prey, both battling for survival. Amazing herd dynamics and predator tactics. GREAT STUFF!

    It must have been incredible to have been there..if you have ever been to a horse race and been impressed by the thunderous sound of 8 horses running ..imagine what 200 or more buffalo´s stampeding sounds like.

    As the Dust was Rising & the Wind was Loudly Murmuring in the background, so the High Energy of the Stampede and the Hunt was so Tangible...

    What an absolutely amazing experience. It's incredible to see how much empathy or camaraderie buffalo have for eachother. The strength of the lions to be able to haul 300kg while in half a foot of mud.

    They always go back for the revive, unlike my teammates in COD.
