ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Nomad Lion, Masai Mara. Kenya. During the migration a large number of nomad lions are following the wilderbeasts into Masai Mara for a "free" meal. On day one of my safari I headed south to Sands river, a great rocky area with beautiful vistas bordering Tanzania´s Serengeti. I was hoping to find nomad lions from Tanzania here and I did not get disappointed:) I shot several photos of this big boy and his brother for the following three days.
