Photograph of the week: Startled lion in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve

By Paul Johnson on Feb 19, 2014 in Adventure Travel, Africa, Regions, South Africa, Speciality Travel

This adult male lion was preparing for a cat nap when a safari vehicle approached in the distance, headlights beaming. The lion was momentarily startled and the spotlight made for the perfect photographic opportunity for those of us a few feet away. The photo was taken in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve, South Africa – an area bursting with wildlife and every photographers playground.
