Not your everyday street life scene…

These photographs were taken near Crocodile Bridge Rest Camp, during our October 2012 visit to the Kruger National Park.

I love how the cars accumulate… each passing shot has more humans… I wonder what the lions make of us? “If only they’d step out!! Soft, tender flesh that’s never done a day’s hard work… mmmm, tasty!!” 😉

  This pride lives in one of the most visited parts of the Kruger Park AJ, and must be very used to the vehicles, but I certainly wouldn’t chance getting out of the car with them in the vicinity, that’s for sure 😉

Real African street life! (That’s what some people still think Africa is all about!)

  Sadly the Africa where lions, and other wildlife, could be found anywhere and everywhere is something of the past…

    Yes, very sad. We have some African lions in the zoo here in Wellington. Took a photo where lions are sleeping on a boulder and in the background some tall office blocks!

Beauties! I was just at a protest to stop canned lion hunting in South Aftrica. So nice to see these lions walking around safely.

  Hi Laurel, and welcome here at de Wets Wild!
  
  The canned hunting of lions and other animals certainly is an atrocity – another example of just how awful humans can be. Luckily these lions are as wild as they come
