Watch: Sunrise pride prowls Skukuza fairway
And this could not be more true than for greenkeeper Jean Rossouw, who spotted a pride of seven lions – four males and three females – on the course at the Skukuza Golf Club's number one fairway this morning.
With hadedas calling in the background, it was a wonderfully wild African scene, with the pride seemingly embracing the beautiful sunrise in the Kruger National Park.
'It was just after 06:00 this morning when I spotted them, while doing my routine checks on the course and sending our workers out,' Rossouw told Lowvelder.

Many hands make lighter work at Albertville park clean-up
On Saturday, July 26, residents of Albertville came together to clean up and reclaim their local park, focusing on clearing rubbish and alien plants. The initiative, led by community volunteers, aims to restore the park to its natural beauty and promote a cleaner environment. Pieter Grobbler, a volunteer, expressed the group's motivation for the clean-up. 'We decided to start with just the alien trees because no one can prohibit you from cutting down aliens. This is just the tip of the iceberg; it's a mission,' he said. Grobbler highlighted the safety concerns associated with the river, noting that litter is often thrown everywhere, contributing to an unsafe environment. Also read: Cleaning up Fairlands the Community Cleaners way Grobbler expressed his frustration with the littering habits of some community members. 'I don't understand why people think others should pick up their litter. They throw everything everywhere, and another issue is that there are no bins in the park,' he said. He emphasised the importance of community involvement, stating, 'Many hands make light work. If we can just get everybody involved, we can make a difference.'
