My Lion Photos
Yesterday’s entry featured a few of the best lion pictures from Andy’s 967. I shot a mere 171 photos of lions, but then again, I was also shooting video. One of the Styx pride cubs at Mala Mala.

It was supposed to be a once in a lifetime trip, but instead it only whet our appetite for what has become almost annual tradition (damn you 2008!). The private safari began in Nairobi, and took us by road to Amboseli National Park in Kenya, and then Tarangire, Lake Manyara,...
