Portrait of a lion in his prime, Lake Ndutu, Tanzania

---

A heavy rainfall and flash flood led to a rapid rise in the water levels of Lake Ndutu and the formation of a river where there normally is none. This occurred during the season of the great migration leading to some spectacular shots of the herds and their predators in an around the flooded area. A handsome lion and a beautiful lioness, both in prime condition, looking well-fed, relax in the bush. This is the male of a mating pair.
