Early morning in the Mara along the Ntiakintiaki River, January 2017. A pride of Lions. This male has recently lost his brother. Lolpapit and Orbanoti, two powerful males in their prime are getting closer to his territory from the Olare Conservancy in the north. Blacky and Lipstick, two other big black-maned males, are moving in from the south. His reign is shrinking and is in peril. He marks his territory, looks towards the horizon. One of his cubs greets him in a cloud of dust. I immediately fell in love with this image, the way the cub looks at him, his tail arching under his father’s chin, the lion’s eyes focused on the future, the light coming from behind. Moments like this, where everything comes together, are rare and are what keeps me willing to spend more and more time out in the bush with these magnificent creatures.
