This young lion was one of three standing 10 yards feet from our vehicle. They spotted four warthogs and took off out of sight.
Last week we were in the Motswari game preserve at the northeastern corner of South Africa, adjoining the Kruger National Park.

That must have been quite an experience! Great photo of the lion.
jack, what an amazing shot. what an unforgettable experience.
This is a great photo. Lions were among the more elusive creatures on our Tanzania photo safari, not coming into very close range.
Awesome picture Jack! Wonderful!
Just catching up with you and I had to go to Africa and face this lion to do it! Haha, great shot and what a great trip!
An amazingly beautiful creature. I've been in preserves twice in South Africa, saw lots of warthogs, giraffes, elephants but never a lion! You are a lucky man!!
Fantastic! I wondered if you might be in Africa!
What a fantastic sight to see, Jack! And, yes, I am envious, but so happy for you to be able to make such a wonderful trip!! I do love the lions! An awesome capture and now I can't wait to see more!! Glad you had a safe trip!

This is no carousel animal! Wonderful, Jack!
Wow, those intense eyes!
Amazing shot with beautiful backlighting. More, please!

What a dream to go on safari. And to bag a lion (metaphorically speaking of course) seems quite a coup.
10-yards away?! Holy cow...er...lion! How exciting for you. Wonderful capture. Shoot early and often (photos, of course).
Beautiful photo! I'd hate to this big cat looking at me like I was a warthog...
But did you bring him anything to eat?!
What an amazing encounter. What a wonderful animal.
Wow, now this is a vacation, a game preserve. Wonderful shot of a lion.
Ohh... the King of the animals, great photo!
Magnificent creature, great shot Jack.
National Geographic quality!!!
What a beautiful, healthy-looking big cat. Not sure whether he was 10 feet or 10 yards away from your vehicle, but either way, that's a close encounter! Bet your pulse was racing!! Thanks for sharing.
