One avid reader told me that if I broke up my safari posts into smaller chunks – either by day or by experience – that they would be a lot more digestible and enjoyable than seeing a million pictures all at once. Well I am really hoping that is true as that is exactly what I am planning on doing. I also realized while it was the trip of a lifetime you probably don’t want to see straight safari photos so I will also make sure to break them up with other fashion, travel, beauty, and lifestyle content to make sure you don’t get bored!
And on that note, welcome to another safari post! So far there have been four Africa posts – the highlights of Kenya and Tanzania and a view into the Lake Manyara National Park and The Ngorongoro Conservation. Once you are all caught up there we can dive into today’s national park, the Serengeti, which was actually so spectacular I decided to break it up into two posts, one with lions and one without. And by the title today, you guessed it, lions. What was truly remarkable to me about the lions in the Serengeti was that while in other parks you may come away with 100+ lion photos but it is all of the same few lions in the same space. What the Serengeti had to offer was a variety of different lions in different spaces and doing different things. Now, granted, it is much more fun to see them up and about but I like to think we got close enough to a few in the grass to still make for a great photo. Take a look at the photos I was able to capture of the lions of the Serengeti:

The faces are so majestic and soulful. I always wonder what they are thinking as I watch them. You captured some wonderful expressions on their faces and in their eyes. Magnificent creatures they are and I am so glad that people are starting to think twice before killing them for a trophy.

Those lions are magnificent. Plus are so smart sitting under the rock where it’s probably a lot cooler. I love the photo of the two lions looking at you under the Rock. Absolutely gorgeous. You’re so fortunate that you got to experience this first-hand.

Gorgeous photos. I can’t imagine how thrilling it must have been to see such majesty in real life!

You just made my day and made me smile. Look at these gorgeous animals.
Can’t believe you saw so many all together and that close up. I could watch them for hours. At the zoo I love to watch them play with each other and chase each other around if I am lucky enough to see them moving. Great photos.
