Three lions that strayed from the Kruger National Park on Friday were captured on Monday and returned to the park.
“It took us the whole day. We got there around 11am in the morning. We had community members who helped track them. In the afternoon some of the guys followed the spoor and found the lions deep in the bush. We decided to call in the helicopter, to dart them from the helicopter,” he said.
“We went for the second and it was a struggle. You can miss an elephant in bush like that, imagine a lion. It was getting late. We got the second one — they were lying together, the last two. It was a perfect dart and we moved on to the third one.
