18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Simba Family

My friend and guide, Wilson, and I were travelling on photo safari in the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. We pulled near the base of a kopje where a lioness was resting nearby with her cubs. In those precious moments, it was such a privilege to watch them feed, play, explore, and show affection to one another.
