2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Lion, none, Zimbabwe
Walking with the lions

Species: Lion | Location: none, Zimbabwe

We were in Zimbabwe and saw and advertisement for" Walking with the Lions" . I signed up and went. The only protection provided was a wooden walking stick. The leader was armed with a gun in case anything went wrong. Before starting I asked the planner if they had fed the lions that morning. He assured me that they had and I said then I was ready to go.
