Walking with lions was a great experience. I was high after it was over. The lions are accustomed to being with humans. Their trainer keeps them focused on a chunk of meat on the end of a long pointed stick while they are waiting to be touched. The speed at which the lions can grab that tidbit of food is astonishing. These are truly wondrous creatures. What also struck me was how much affection these two lions had for each other. They were not fully grown. The male massed 150 kg and is expected to reach 260 kg. Later that day I drove back to Capetown, and began my long trip back to the USA the next afternoon. This is the last post from my South African Adventure. I may go back to the archives some day, but not for a while.
unbelievable ….such gorgeous pets
Gorgeous, but they eat a lot. Thank you Gabi.
Ok thats on my bucket list now!

Lions are stunning creatures!! It must have been amazing to be able to get so close to them and to actually be able to touch them!!! I would love to have the opportunity to do that someday. Great photos as well.

Um, so, wow!! I am pretty positive you already know how amazing these pictures are! I love candid pictures of different people in different places and landscape photography, but your animal pictures are definitely my favorite! Especially the lions, because wild cats are definitely my favorite animal too.

Love your work Ron may have to drive down to Houston and hang out sometime, 1 million is coming soon
Yeah, I cant wait for the 1MM, but meantime I will have to find new subjects.
Hanging around with lions looks extremely cool and may have to be added to my bucket list.
It was actually an unexpected opportunity. Had I scheduled it in advance, I could have saved about $80.

The lions are very affectionate to each other. As cute as they are, they are still lions.
These images are amazing!! I hope to one day soon have the chance to travel with my photography the way that you do! Amazing images that portray so much!!!! Breathtaking!
Thank you. There is always some good stuff to shoot close to home. Over half the stuff on the blog was taken within a 90 minute drive of my home.
