Image Description

We had been looking for several days for lions, that were allegedly causing terror in Amboseli. Suddenly, at dusk, we saw three of them lying in the tall grass. One of the three stood up and started walking, then the second did the same, and then the third followed… then suddenly a fourth head appeared and stood up, followed by the fifth, the sixth,… I have never seen such a large group of lions together so openly. We counted 21.

That is certainly a load of lions. I love the one bounding toward them… it’s just the type of unexpected element this scene needs.

That is certainly, great subject in abundance !
You may go more pano if you like.

This is wonderful! I’ve never seen so many in one photograph.

I love the colours and the poses of the lions. Just look at those tail swishes!

Thank you all for appreciating this image. The experience was truly fantastic :slightly_smiling_face:
