A King’s Approach
Watch as the legendary Norman and his brother emerge from the Addo thicket. In these moments of raw, moving power, the tension built with every step. It was from this charged atmosphere that the iconic portrait was born—a single, silent moment of connection after the long wait.

Into the Wild — Norman | The Story
A black-maned lion of the Kalahari.
Long before he arrived at Tswalu, Norman had already earned his place among Africa's great lions. Alongside his cousin Zwaai, he survived battles for territory, rival coalitions, and the constant challenges of life in the wild.
When the two lions were relocated to Tswalu, many expected old rivalries to continue. Instead, something remarkable happened. Former enemies became allies, forming one of the most formidable lion coalitions in the reserve.
This portrait is Norman as I remember him, powerful, watchful, and utterly at home in the vast Kalahari landscape.
A reminder that true strength is not always found in conflict. Sometimes it is found in endurance.

From a collector's home
“The print was perfect — very high quality and excellent composition and balance (and very well wrapped and protected). I also love the natural oak frame. He will be coming with me when I purchase a home next year.”

Collector Stories
Reflections from collectors who have welcomed Peter Delaney's artwork into their homes around the world.
After some delay, I finally had 'Bonds of Love' framed and placed on my bedroom wall, a gift from my husband for our 50th wedding anniversary. He passed away not long after, and two years on, this photograph continues to comfort me. It is the first thing I see every morning, and it gladdens my heart.
This is not a photograph hanging on a wall. It is a window into something vast and unhurried.
To have one of Peter Delaney's images in your home is your connection to a world few of us will ever experience, and a connection to nature and the earth that is truly rare.
Queen of the Mara has occupied a central place in our living room since 2020. It helped us feel connected to the world at a time when we... weren't.
Each print carries its own story, creating a lasting connection between the collector and Africa's wild places.
