BIG FIVE: KING OF BEASTS

 
...early morning seems to be the best time for 'hunting' lion...




...we came across this very large pride dining on four buffalo after a very successful night hunt...





































...the great beast approaches...



















...past the vehicle just in front of ours...






...close enough to touch...






























...this young one appears to be playing with his food...










 ...another male approaches...









....you can see the shadow of our vehicle as he passes...



 ...he stops to take a second look at this vehicle with unprotected sides - Francois calls them lion kabobs...



...passenger not that thrilled to be so close...



...while their great brave Maasai warrior guide cowers on the roof...






...a kingly feast...



 ...a photo feast...
