This evening I took this picture of two young Thanda Lionesses chasing a Warthog. The pig got away and the two ladies had to continue their hunt for dinner.

… no more words are needed!
Just cute and does not need a lot of text 😊

These are four faces of Lions performing four different activities. Do you know what they are doing?

After a mating session this morning some of our Lions gave a short roaring concert at Thanda Safari.

This Lioness was using her carnassials to cut pieces out of her Zebra kill. As she did so she kept an eye on us watching her.

Sometimes herbivores rather keep an eye on carnivores than running away from them. This evening a dazzle of Burchell’s Zebras were keeping an eye on our two dominant male Lions for quite a while before moving off in the opposite directions.
The Zebras never came close enough to trigger the Lions’ hunting/killing instinct, and as these larger cats were still full from a recent kill they were putting no effort into active hunting at this time.

This little Lion cub got itself into a cozy and safe position right under its mom.
It and its siblings where most interested in the turning wheels of the Green Mamba (my game drive vehicle) and moved a bit closer every time I moved the car. As soon as I stopped they lost interest and ran after mom.
What a sighting!

… is ideal for portrait work.
Yesterday evening my gorgeous model – one of Thanda’s dominant males – cooperated well!
