Lion Group Zimbabwe Africa

This is the group of 10 that went on the lion walk. We were well briefed with the rules for walking with lions. Note that it really can be dangerous. Any situation with a group of tourists and animals of the magnitude of the lions in the picture can become volatile in a fraction of a second for the strangest of reasons. I’m also sure we were all a little bit nervous at first when the handlers brought the lions to us. The lion walk was, essentially, a walk with lions. The experience was about two hours long. I was able to get 50 minutes of video during our walk, plus almost 100 pictures. The lions were, of course, about as tame as you can get an 18 month old lion to be. They were playful. They liked to walk up to us and rub up against us. There were hundreds of pictures taken during the walk. Note that the largest dimension available for this picture is 1024 X 768 as it was uploaded at a very slow bandwidth from a remote location in Africa.
