I usually get up around 4:30am but today Lion roars coming from directly in front of my room woke me up half an hour early. I quickly got ready and went out with the Green Mamba (my safari vehicle) to find the sources of the sounds. After a few minutes I caught up with our two dominant males who were in a roaring match with the neighbor’s cats.

For the next four hours I kept trailing them on their morning territorial walk. I will put together video footage and pictures from this magical morning and post it soon. For today I have combined one of my favorite pictures taken around 5:15am under a starry sky while they performed a roaring duet next to my car.

I recommend you close your eyes for half a minute and enjoy the amazing sound!

Stay safe.

LOCK DOWN PHOTOGRAPHIC SAFARI XXXXIII

I had planned to take some pictures of the moon rising and I had picked a good spot at Mgankla dam on the edge of the Thanda Safari savanna.

As the moon rose I was all set up with tripods, cameras and wide angle lenses, and I was busy taking pictures when close-by two male Lions engaged in a roaring bush duet.

I packed up my gear and found them after a few minutes in a sickle-bush area. This is a slide show with their duet as the sound track. Enjoy your evening and stay safe!

This is how a Lion looks when he is roaring. He does this to assert his territory and to let the ladies know where he is, in case of need 😊

Have a good evening, stay home and stay safe!

PS: The rest of the answers to this mornings question will follow!

… and here is how it sounds …

This is a short video about today’s sighting of two small Lion cubs and two female Lions at Thanda Safari.

Enjoy the show 😊

I suggest you spend 30 seconds relaxing while watching a Lion sleeping on the savanna.

Enjoy your evening, stay home and stay safe!
