LION AND LIFE





The Lion King of the Beasts (Lion King), if you are lucky you will see Lion on your African safari. It's always nice to take pictures of Lions in Africa, especially when they are hunting or feeding on a carcass. Most of the time you will see a Lion or pride of Lions on your safari. Sometimes the male Lion will have a pride of more tgan 20 females + cubs. Good places to see a large Lion pride is the Savute region in Chobe National Park Botswana.
Lion are dangerous, stay away from them if you are on footh with a walking safari. As they are the Nr. 1 predator in Africa it's very easy to get killed by a angry Lion. Howver, most of the time they will run off as soon as they see or smell you.
Best National Park to see Lions in Botswana are Moremi Game Reserve and Chobe National Park. Also the Central Kalahari Game Reserve is a nice place for taking a Lion picture. There you can find the rare blankmanned Kalahari Lion.
