Nick what a wonderful experience for your guests and its so nice to know that you and all the guides still appreciate each and every day. Nice job of bringing us up close

Love, love, love

Nick, what a great blog today – seeing the Birmingham Male, and the Tsalala Female and her cub🤗

Unforgettable is right, I would love to see that in person one day.

Absolutely beautiful nothing like hearing a male lion roar its absolutely breathtaking been to the Mara and witnessing this myself it awesome.

What a great experience for Stephen and Ben. Memories for a lifetime!

Now that was a brilliant sighting thanks to incredible teamwork. One doesn’t often see a lion family unit together- Ben and Stephen won the lottery on that drive. It’s heartening to know the Tsalala lioness has so far done an amazing job raising her cub against extreme odds. Great blog!!

Sounds like a fabulous morning. To have lions that close and what a magnificent male lion!! Victoria

What an awesome day you guys had! The pictures of the Tsalala Lioness and her cub, (and the supposed papa) are a breather of relief as well as a moment of joyful tears knowing that they’re still alive and well, and going strong. Their captured day is so appreciated.

Incredible opportunity!
Hard to believe the lion sought shade under the vehicle!

What an amazing encounter. to se the three together. well done team. So proud of the Tsalala female in raising her cub on her own. She makes her bloodline proud.
We will be there in March, hoping to just an encounter. Cheers!

What an incredible experience…..right by your rover, no less! It’s always good to hear news about Tsalala. She has such determination to thrive. The images of her and her cub were wonderful and I’m glad the Birmingham male (father) is still attentive. Great post and I’m happy for everyone.

My favorite lions, thank you so much for sharing.
