Scarcely half-an-hour after arriving at Marakele National Park on the 29th of June, while making our way between reception and our allocated tent at Tlopi Tented Camp, we were met by this beautiful male lion, out patrolling and marking his territory. It really is nice to have your arrival acknowledged by the local royalty, don’t you think?

Wonderful photos. Joubert’s photo top left the lion is licking his lips. I hope that was not because he thought Joubert would make a tasty meal! ( just kidding)

You might be closer to the truth than you thought, Anne – we always notice, since he was very small, how the big predators take a particular interest in Joubert!
