Lions make themselves at home on Skukuza’s golf course
Eight lions were spotted on the golf course in the early hours of Monday morning.
Lions were seen on the Skukuza golf course having a relaxed morning in the shade which made for quite an entertaining episode.
Lowvelder spoke to Jean Rossouw who is the greenskeeper for Skukuza Golf Club.

He said his morning began like any other with him doing his rounds of the grounds on the golf cart which is a standard routine every day, when he spotted the lions.
Rossouw then went back and got a vehicle to assess the situation better. He mentioned that they were still on the golf course at 21:30 and it is just a standard day on the course in the Kruger.

Rossouw said he was quite happy to have his pictures of the lions go viral as it gets the word out that people play golf while vacationing in the Kruger at the only golf course where the Big 5 roams freely.
At the end of the day, the lions knew that the grass was definitely greener on the golf course.
