Haha thanks! I had a guide and spent most of the time in an open top Jeep.

The predators have this conflicting relationship everywhere and leave no stone unturned to damage the livestock whenever possible. At my place, we have a large number of panthers. They often visit the villages when hungry and find nothing to eat in the forest. So, the villagers are always on guard, specially during the dusk or dawn and livestock is taken inside, before the sun goes down.

Anyway, You've showed us some really powerful pictures. I specially like the one with lion stretching his body and the last ones, the pack seem to have got a huge party that day :D Thanks for sharing and have a good day :)

Thanks! We humans have a complicated relationship with apex predators. It will only become worse as we encroach upon their hunting grounds and eliminate their food sources.

This was a really fascinating post on the lions in the wild. It paints a very real picture of what the lion's day is like. I don't know why that jackal was so brave (stupid) in harassing that lioness. And I didn't know a pack would cuddle with their supper like that. So I hope you had a long range lens taking these pictures, I'd be afraid of winding up as lunch.

Thanks for dropping by. You never really know what you will see on safari! My lens was just long enough fortunately!

hi @joshman
your trip to Africa must have been magnificent, I also saw your previous posts! These animals in the savannah are wonderful! What season did you go to? how much time do you recommend for a stress free trip?
The lioness in the first pictures is one of the best models I've ever seen !!
Congratulations and thank you for sharing with us!

Thanks! I actually live in east Africa, so I have quite a few trips. I went in September on this particular trip, and the weather was perfect. If you want to see the most number of animals, the more days/game drives the better. Sometimes you'll see very little, others it will be a constant deluge of cool stuff.

Beautiful collection of photography, the great and majestic animals. I always loved lions, actually they reminded me my cat and all the behaviour of them is the behaviour of cats, when they are stretching, sunning or sleeping. The shots are of very good quality and you managed to include everything even hunting. Really amazing!

Wooaw.... Lovely Kenyan lions you have I there. And am glad I met your blog this day. I have had many thoughts about lions that I had to clarify but your amazing blog made me get some ideas.

All the Lions in there are awesome... Except when they get you as their meat..... Lol
I really enjoyed every time I spent on your blog. Great work and keep the wilds spirit up

They are incredible photos. I can not believe you were so close to the lions. It must have been an amazing experience. a pity that there are so few lions, once in a documentary I saw that today there were more statues of lions than live lions.
