Carrying on from where we left off in the previous post – the African Lioness carrying her new born cubs, probably to be introduced to the pride, made a sudden change in direction. She was now headed directly towards our vehicle. I made the most of this...

We were on our first safari into central Serengeti National Park when we spotted a Lioness at a distance. At first it looked like she was carrying a kill. I zoomed in with my 600mm f/4 lens only to be pleasantly surprised, that it wasn’t a kill – instead...

Maasai Mara always has something exciting to offer, if you keep looking – and “keep looking” is what we did after we left the Cheetah brothers and moved on. However it is always Emanuel, our driver and naturalist who gets the spotting done. This time...

We were on a morning game drive in Maasai Mara when Emanuel, our driver/guide spotted a Pride of Lions not far from the road. We stopped by to get a closer look. We were just in time to see the Lioness along with her sisters return to the Pride. The young cubs greeted...

We wanted to round off writing about this particular trip to Maasai Mara with the sighting of probably the most handsome African Lion that we had seen till date. We were headed back to the Mara Serena Safari Lodge after an amazing sighting, that of a Leopard with a...

This was an amazing experience we had in Maasai Mara. We saw how much of patience is required by Lions while they go about stalking and killing a prey. And they are not always successful! In this instance, it was truly incredible to watch a Lioness patiently stalk a...
