![There’s been a short silence after a celebratory overload of lion cub updates involving our first sighting of the two little males, the gut-wrenching moment one almost got trampled by a buffalo, their worrying separation from their mother, the oh-so-cute display they put on playing with a lioness’ tail, and then the first time we spotted […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Lioness-and-cub-awake_Fotor-370x275.jpg "Catch up with Ross Breakaway lion cubs")
