Nothing is more exciting than getting up for an early morning or late afternoon game-drive in one of the National Parcs in (South) Africa. It's just that sense of excitement that I really like...that possibility that you come face to face with one of those beautyful animals...and to be honest...all these animals are equally beautyful to me. But getting face to face with a young lioness definitely adds a little more tension to the excitement...The rain season, when the natural habitat of these wild animals is lush and green, is a more challenging time for lions to hide their prescence to other innocent and tasty bystanders....I observed this young lioness for a pretty long time and just loved how she tried to keep as low a profile as possible....just that energy...that power....those teeth.....yikes! But just so magnificent. Being around these animals just makes me forget about the rest of the world!
