Description: Out of the 4 cubs in this pride, he was the most confident and most playful constantly providing great photo opportunities

Story from behind the lens: Our first game drive in the Mara, I was looking forward to seeing lions as I learned Naboisho Conservancy has a high density of them. We drove around till sunset when we found this pride of lions along a river bank. The cubs were beginning to become active and this one in particular was full of energy and was constantly playing with and seeking the attention of the older cubs.
