Lions

Lions are the top predator in Africa and we were pleased to have great views including one memorable day when a female and three cubs walked past us just a few feet away.

Adult female - note the great teeth

How close do you get to a lion? Pretty close.

This is Dad - The King

Here is Dad awaiting the family with eager anticipation.

Mom coming out the arroyo

One cub

Another cub

Three cubs coming up the arroyo

Mom - the cubs are behind her

This is how close we get. Stay in the truck, everyone.

The family will walk around us and settle with Dad who is just 300 feet or so on our left.

So, what does Dad do when the Mom and kids get there?
