A Lion Cub At Sunset – Weekly Travel Photo

Lion Cubs Playing at Sunset

With a glimmer of light reflected in its eye this young lion club relaxed with its brothers and sisters in South Luangwa National Park in Zambia.  The cubs’ mothers were out hunting and enjoying some free time away from the kids, leaving them to lounge in the late afternoon sun, chew on each other’s tails, and generally do all of the things you’d expect over-sized kittens to do.

    1. Thanks! Appreciate it! They really are great to take photos of aren’t they? Zambia is an amazing spot. Would love to get back down there. I wasn’t able to swim in the Devil’s Pool during the visit…so still have a major to-do on the list.
