Zambia is one of the last remaining unspoiled safari destinations inAfrica. A scene like this in the Serengeti or in Kruger NP wouldattract a small army of tourists within minutes, battling for the bestspot.

When I took this shot in South Luangwa NP, there were no othervehicles and I had the whole scene to myself for several hours. Asusual, I left the camp long before sunrise enabling me to spend sometime to drive around, searching for something interesting. We soonstumbled across a small family of lions, lying next to a dead tree. Itwas still relatively cool, and as a result the three cubs were veryactive. They were constantly running and jumping on and off the treeand each other - a joy to watch. After a while they became tired andtwo of the cubs sat down. First the one of the left, then the one onthe right joined. Almost a perfect mirror image, I couldn't havewished for a better pose. By positioning the vehicle in a ditch I wasable to get the low perspective.

In just a few months I will run another workshop to this amazingcountry, and I'm looking forward to seeing how much the three cubswill have grown.
