Entrance to the Park.
Animals in the road.
Our safari guide told us this handsome young male lion had recently challenged the previous male for his pride. He succeeded in taking five females. On this day, the lions were resting calmly in the shade under some bushes. We were able to drive up within 20 feet of the spectacular creatures. As the time passed, and the shade disappeared, the lions got up and moved to a nearby bush to find more shade. I hope this sequence of photos is able to convey the lazy, slow movements of lions who couldn’t be bothered by humans in safari vehicles, taking photos. They were undoubtedly aware of us, though went on about their business as if we were not there. Laying, grooming, stretching.
Formerly the national bird of Mozambique.
