Little lion cub approaching our jeep

Initially sleepy, the lions lazed around for most of the time. As the sun started setting the little cub started to get more active, wanting to play and explore. At one point he came right up to our jeep and just sat there looking at us. His mum and dad didn’t seem bothered at all. After a while he must have got bored watching us watching him (we didn’t do much after all) and went back to playing tug-of-war with dad’s ear and having a bath from mum. The beautiful golden light we all crave in photography gave us an amazing hour before the sun sank below the horizon. All in all, we spent around three of four hours with these lions. Watching animals for that length of time really pays off to witness interaction that you would otherwise not see. I could have spent weeks watching them. Eventually, as it started to get dark we made the journey back to the lodge arriving after nightfall. I was counting my lucky stars having experienced so much in just two days.
