Thanks Pierluigi! ;-)
The Serengeti and the safaris are also this ...

It must have been a great emotion to have them there; I've always wondered if you do not feel a bit in danger, because a small jump would be enough. Excellent moment caught, representative of the life of the savannah.
Good boy

Hi Stefano,
The emotion is certainly strong, see them move, sleep, walk and hunt like they are crawling is really beautiful. Fear is never there: lions do not deign you for a look, as if you were not there, you make their own business. If they walk in the middle of the road do not move even if you kick them (better not try ...).
Men and cars do not interest them, maybe they do not like canned meat ...

Of course it is bad to see the invasion of the off-road full of tourists, but to think about it, if there were no tourists, there would not even be any more parks and then the lions would be relegated to the zoo.

Stefano, thanks for the appreciation and the visit! ;-)

Hello Roberto,
nice shot, I like it, even more because you have done with a view of almost 50 years: -o

Congratulations for the whole "African" series ;-)

Hi Sauro,
Thank you very much for the appreciation and for the visit. ;-)
I started with the Nikkor 80-200mm f / 4.5 from 1970 because ... I had nothing better.
We confirmed the trip a dozen days before departure and so there was neither time nor money to find better. I made a quick comparison with the Zuiko OM 135mm f / 2.8, but despite all the Nikkor was better than the cropped Zuiko. I also brought 3 other Zuiko series OM: 18mm, 24mm and 50mm.

Good day, Roberto

Off-road vehicles protect? :-D nice

I do not believe. If the lions wanted, the tourists would pout in one bite. Probably they are not to their liking even from the culinary point of view.
In reality it is the absolute prohibition to get out of the car to protect the most unconscious who would not hesitate to caress the lions (which are so cute). ;-)

Thanks Jancuia for appreciation and visit.

The less appealing side of safaris..... good document, Skylab!

Hi Ann!
It's the less beautiful side of the safari, but it's only fair to show the reality once.
Thanks for the visit and for the appreciation! ;-)

Constructive Comment:
The photo very clearly represents a problem of modern "safaris", it looks like a city street clogged with traffic. At the compositional level perhaps the Toyota on the right is a bit too cut, a little more angle of view would not have hurt.

Constructive Comment:
As Mr. Mario also said, it makes you want to go on a safari....
One imagines tranquility and peace, not the traffic of a ring road...
If one loves animals, I believe one cannot love such a situation.

Constructive comment:
this shot brings with it strong contrasts. The simplicity of execution, the almost inexistente post would seem to relegate this shot more to a souvenir photo than to a refined shot. Then, more than you observe it, the more elements emerge that make us reflect on the human and animal conditions, where in any case every observer can draw personal conclusions, but makes us think. So what seemed like a weak point (the simplicity of execution) is now a strong point, a street in the savannah.

Constructive Comment:
This photo should not be looked at (and judged) from a technical point of view, I see it as a documentary photo and denunciation, even if I had a minimal idea to participate in a photographic safari now I have passed completely! :-/
If this photo has to convey something to me it is the great anguish for these poor animals... :-(

Constructive Comment:
It is the classic photo that is not flashy, maybe one sees it pass on the internet and skips it beautifully.
It is a photo that needs a "slower" vision to grasp it.
Personally I have noticed many things, the first the great habit of animals to man, they are ignoring all those people, it is as if the safari tour had become their normality.
Another thing that strikes me is the direction of people's looks, having those animals so close would fascinate and scare me a little, but they seem to look at everyone in different directions
It makes me think and I would see it well in a wider series of shots related to these safaris with the aim of documenting these things and the people and not the animal itself

Constructive Comment:
Pleasant and nice image, which documents with simplicity and immediacy the contrast between the desire for "wild" of those present and the absurd circumstance in being in an off-road highway, which everything represents less than the boundless spaces of the savannah. The feeling of "tourists walking around" is amplified by the carelessness of some human figures towards the felines, who seem almost evicted from their home instead of being the real protagonists of the safari.
A good street, not at all obvious.

Constructive Comment:
The shot is certainly pleasant both for composition and for what it tells.
Having experienced similar scenes, I must say that the only criticism I would like to make is that from this image does not emerge the regal indifference regarding human interference by the lion, who here appears instead miserable and resigned.

Constructive Comment:
Exactly twenty years ago I participated in a photographic safari in Kenya and I must admit that it also happened to me to find myself in some situations of "traffic jam" similar to the one represented in the photo, these episodes, however, in my case were rare, probably due to the choice of the tour operator who accompanied us.
Returning to the photo and linking it to my personal experience, I agree with those who see in this shot a "street" of the savannah.
In its simplicity it is a document that well exposes the situations that are encountered even in remote regions.
