It was difficult to detect on tree trunk, but one of areas workers show it to us.

Driving on roads in the park area, we saw our first lions, although hiding in the grass. Lot of Kirk's Dik-diks in camps area. As a small animal it almost gets lost in the grass. Park area was forest covered and hilly. River Tagangire was in front of tents far down and come again on park. There was rather slightly water in river, here and there little pounds.
