The sighting of a lioness is always an exciting encounter. Our Rangers tracked the lioness and expertly put us in the perfect position to get wonderful shots of her. She didn’t seem to be too worried about us as she slowly walked toward us. The closer she got to us, I knew that she would pass between our two vehicles. She seemed to stare directly at me the second I captured this photo and then continued to walk right passed my side of the vehicle probably only 10 feet from me. While very exciting and exhilarating, that was close enough.
