Born to Rule

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 too 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. This photo was a finalist for "Photographer of the Year" of National Geographic Germany in 2018

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 goosebumps watching him. One of the male lions of the pride that resides around the Mara Bush Camp.

They call him the King… but survival doesn’t come without scars. 🦁✨
This portrait captures a lion who has fought, endured, and carried his legacy forward. A reminder that strength is born from resilience.

Would you bring this wild spirit into your home?

When the first ray of light are coming out on the plains you will get a beautiful light. You can see how much the animals are enjoying it when the sunrise starts to warm up the air. This photo was taken at winter time in Kenya, so the nights can get pretty chilly.

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.
