Lion Pictures - Pg 2

The lion pictures on this page were all taken in Botswana's Tuli Block, an area in the far eastern corner of the country bordered by South Africa and Zimbabwe.

Although not as well known as Botswana's Moremi and Chobe national parks, the Tuli Block is nevertheless rich in wildlife, including large herds of elephant and predators such as lion, leopard, cheetah, jackal and hyena..

We were fortunate to come across a number of lion prides, allowing us to get lion cub pictures, plus photos of regal male lions resting in the shade, which is always a bonus.

   Lions enjoy their rest
Lions are reputed to sleep or rest for about 20 hours a day, so you'll often find them lying prone under a shady bush, particularly after they've gorged themselves following a kill.

Much of their hunting is done at night and this makes it all the more difficult to get lion photos that crackle and sparkle with life.

As in all nature photography, patience is necessary and eventually, if you wait long enough, there'll be some movement - maybe just a lift of the head or change of body position - that will allow a couple of quick shots.

Of course, if you're in a game-viewing vehicle with impatient companions, this may not be possible. But maintain your good humour and trust that a considerate attitude will be repaid on the next drive.

Your reward could well be sequence of memorable lion pictures from your African safari that will be the envy of those back home.
