Mammals of Kenya
Lion
I have visited Nairobi National Park three times in less than six months and I have been impressed every time. The sightings are incredibly good and the setting is so strange with the town so close. I got a tip off that some lions were close to the road. I went there to discover this big male ON the road. He was very relaxed and allowed us very close. I took a series of shots as he posed like the king of the jungle!
