Etosha National Park is famed for its Kalahari black-maned Lions, the biggest, tallest and most impressive Lions on the planet. On my arrival, I was told by a ranger that two big nomadic lions had chase and injured the Nebrownie pride male. They had taken over, the pride had scattered. I headed straight for the area and began my search for the lions. It didn’t take long when I saw a lioness with two cubs cross thru the veld at a quick pace.

Minutes later her unease and quick departure was understood. A Kalahari black-maned lion was in hot pursuit. He was one of the most majestic Kalahari black-maned Lions I had photographed. I knew instantly that this African Big Cat would make an impressive Fine-Art Print. I can only surmise that he was one of the two nomadic Kalahari black-maned lions.
This African Big Cat has murder on his mind as he hunts the female lioness and cubs. I followed for as far as I could. But then the lions went into the thick bush I will never know the real outcome. I assume the worse but hope for the best.
“When you are alone, and in the presence of a Kalahari black mane lion, a primaeval fear takes hold of you. Even though you tell yourself “you’re safe” you can not totally shake this feeling. It’s there lodged in the back of your mind. This majestic African big cat once was the bane of forefathers who lived on this land. They created kraals around their dwellings to keep their families and livestock safe. When you are a few meters from this killing machine, and his predatory eyes lock with yours, you will be chilled to the bone”
