Watch: Sunrise pride prowls Skukuza fairway

A greenkeeper got more than he bargained for on his morning rounds when lions decided that the fairway was their private savannah.

As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm… Or, in this case, the ‘birdie’.

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.
