14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Eye to Eye in the Mara
While on Safari in Maasai Mara, we came into contact with a lone lion, and spent nearly an hour with him all to ourselves. I'll never forget the feeling when we locked eyes, a moment of wonder and pure bliss for me (although I was intimidated and quickly looked away as he was so near our vehicle) If you look closely, you can see the reflection of our land rover in his eyes.
