Lions

Tired After A Great Lunch

What a start to our safari adventure. On the first game drive we came across this young male. He just came from his lunch and was really tired as he passed out jeep. I was hoping he would start yawning as he passed the jeep. Yep, and here we go. Take a look closer at his mouth and you can see all the flies around him.

Come and Play with me

Come and play with me - One of the best experience on our trip to Tanzania. We were following the Great Migration. On that day our driver brought us to a waterhole where the migration was passing by. A lioness and her cubs were very relaxed as one of the cubs got bored and started playing with the zebras. He is still to young to hunt by himself, but he starts practicing. He walked up to the zebras very calm and just suddenly he started running and all zebras got scared and run away. The cub tried his same behavior like ten times. It was an unbelievable and unforgettable scenery.

The Boss

When you see him, you know who’s the king. He takes care of his pride and his members. Defends them against every attacker with his blood and live.

Can you spot me

A lioness lays down in the tall grass. Her camouflage is almost perfect. The light of the golden hour gives the perfectly atmosphere

This is our territory

On our very last game drive we finally spotted the lions. This is one of only a few prides around the Chobe Game Lodge and it makes it very difficult to find them. Their camouflage in the tall grass is just perfect

Lions under the Rainbow II

After a short heavy rainfall the sun came back out. Right on time before sunset to create a beautiful rainbow. To have to lion pride in the foreground was the ice on the cake.

A Line of Lions

The Topi pride is the largest lion pride at the Masai Mara. They are approximatly 25 animals with four males, 6-7 females and around 15 cubs of different ages. It's an incredible sighting to see so many lions at one spot. We haven't seen the males, because they were patroling their territory. On this photo you can see seven cubs lined up.

The King II

This look. This expression. This confidence and showing of power. He looks like the real king of the plains. What a fantastic sighting. I'm still getting goosebumbs watching him. One of the male lions of the pride that resides around the Mara Bush Camp.

The King III

When you see a lion in the wild, you know why he is called the king of the wild. This grace, power, strength and confidence is unbelievable.
