Species: Lions, and Cape Buffalo | Location: Ruaha National Park, Sand River, Tanzania, United Republic of
This was one of the most amazing experiences we have ever had while traveling in Africa. While on our evening drive our guide stopped by a dry river bed and we watched a pride of Lionesses and their cubs stalk a herd of Cape Buffalo grazing. The 3 of the Lionesses went in for the attack the herd started to run kicking up dust. Very soon after they started to run away the Buffalo stopped in their tracks, and made an about turn snorting and chasing the Lionesses. The most amazing thing happened once the dust cleared and it was obvious the Lions had won the fight seizing 2 baby buffalo. A large Male Lion sauntered out of the bushes not more than 25 feet behind us to enjoy the feast!
About The Photographer
Through photography I have found my passion for life. Experiencing the grandeur of nature, the many sounds, smells, and behaviors of wildlife in their natural habitat is a thrill beyond description. I have been very fortunate to have the opportunity to visit wildlife in their natural homes, without any invitation. I am lifelong Midwesterner, currently living along the Mississippi River on the Iowa and Illinois state border. I had various involvement with photography starting in the 1970’s, and continue to improve my skills over the years.Vote for this photo, and you’ll be entered for the chance to win a $500 Visa gift card!
