Masaai Mara, Kenya - September 16, 2016
Early morning on the Mara. Our guide braked as a pair of magnificent lions,
who were obviously planning a romantic interlude, passed by the safari vehicle.
who were obviously planning a romantic interlude, passed by the safari vehicle.
We followed them quietly for some time - they took us roaming
with them across the sunny golden plain.
We even stopped here for our bush breakfast - in a safe spot of course - realizing
they were in no hurry and we could catch up with them later.
Bob, Tirian - our Masaai guide and friend, Me
When we caught up with them again, he seemed to be treating her well,
gently showing affection . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . he looked at her with adoration
. . . . . . . .and roared, but not at us, at another young male who passed by, possibly
one of his sons according to Tirian.
More snoozing and no action. . . . . . and this continued for quite a while.
So we said goodbye, gave them privacy, and wished them well - they did look happy!
