Description: Motherly love is unconditional and nurturing bond between a mother and her child. A lioness fiercely protect and cares her cubs, demonstrating motherly love through her dedication to their safety.

Story from behind the lens: It was very early in the morning. I moved straight to The Rongai area to looking for the Rongai Pride with the cubs. I was the first in the sighting. The Rongai lionesses were moving the cubs accross the Rongai Stream. I was at the right position and I could see the lioness going back and picking up the cubs and crossing with them because the Stream was full of water. I noticed the cubs were so curious when one of the is being carried. This was so interesting and took some photos. I love the patience of the cubs on the other side of the stream. This was the best moment of my time with Rongai cubs and lionesses
