Tumbela male lions and their cubs
A cool, yet cloudy summer morning set the tone for an incredibly playful scene. Not far from camp the roads were littered with the tracks of lions on the move. Not wasting any time I set out in the direction of the tracks. The… Continue Reading “Tumbela male lions and their cubs”
