Description
Nothing cuter than a baby, but make it a 6 week old lion cub.....wow! One of the most amazing moments in our lives. We were in South Africa, near Kruger at a gorgeous reserve, andBeyond Kirkman's Kamp for 3 days of safari.
It was our final day and while we had heard of this lion cub, we had not found him yet. It was our final outing on the rainy morning of our last day and we rushed out before the others to the area we had heard the small pride of lions had last been seen. Driving slowly through through the constant drizzle, someone at the back of the truck yelled "STOP". "Backup, I think I saw something gold in the grass!" Our guide slowly backed up and there it was, the smallest little patch of gold in the tall green grass.
Our guide carefully maneuvered the truck slowly toward the golden patch. There they were, this beautiful lioness and her precious little lion cub. For the next 45 mins we watched as they slowly awakened, mom gave morning kisses, they stretched, walked around through the tall green grass, came out of the road, breathtakingly walked within 2-3 feet our truck and the cub played, harassed his mom and explored all that was new.
Little guy was wet all over as they drizzle was constant, so were we. Never mind, it was the most wonderful experience. I love this image in black and white as it really makes his eyes and features stand out.
