Yesterday, Mike was out on safari, full game drive vehicle with 10 guests, when he found the male lion at first! Turns out, they were feasting on a nice kill and staying nearby to make sure they will be able to eat it all and taking breaks in-between eating (it is a bit like humans on holidays actually, with the only difference that nature will impose a diet on these lions, so things never get out of control).

The whole pride was present and it was amazing to watch them all being together (the lions were spending quite a bit of time apart in previous months), so they seem to have all reconnected. The male looks stronger and more stunning than ever, and in the next months and few years he will grow to become even larger than now. He is still young. What a beautiful example of a healthy (and happy) male lion.

I am wondering if the rumours of one of the lionesses having had a cub a few month ago is true, we will find out soon enough and I will update you about this in the near future.

Enjoy the pictures, I really did! Many thanks to Mike for taking all these shots, well done! Possibly the best any of our rangers has ever taken actually …
