The lion has been depicted as "King of the jungle" and/or "King of beasts" and is one of the most widely recognised animal symbols. It appeared as a symbol for strength and thus became a popular symbol for royalty. They are depicted in sculptures, paintings, national flags, and in many films and literature. Even Singapore got it's name from Lion.
A male lion is seen crossing to another part of Masai Mara early in the morning.
I have never been so close to a lion before not to mention is "uncaged". Visit Masai Mara give me a lot of first, such as being so close to a lion just meters away in their natural habitat.
At one point the lion is just less than a meter away right beside our vehicle.
Saw this lion late in the evening as the lion set his eye on the target and waiting for the night fall before making his move.
Another first time for me to hear the lion roar up-close. The roar can be heard throughout the night back in my tent as they are just nearby our tent! What an awesome experience.

These lioness is roaming or inspecting their territory and will chase away intruder(competitor) if any.
One of my favorite shot of the trip is this lion with it's prey in the morning. The condensation from the hot air breath out by lion give this image the dreamy feel without PS or filter.
This is the typical lion with it's prey photo.
When the fearsome predator in their sleep, they become cute kitty!
This male lion with black mane is performing his duty to increase the populations.
Playing is actually part of the training to get them ready as the next king. These cubs will one day have their own pride ( living in groups of related individuals with their offspring).
