Lion in the grassland (in explore) - a photo on Flickriver

            We were lucky enough to see this beautiful male lion multiple times. On this afternoon game drive, he was roaming his vast and remote territory. I still get goosebumps when I think about the minutes after this shot. The lion unexpectedly decided to inspect our safari vehicle. He came right up to where I was sitting. At a distance of less than 90cm I could have touched him....🐾
