We had heard this lion from a distance but couldn’t find him, because he was always lying down after roaring and just disappeared in the high grass. If we had been on foot, we probably wouldn’t have seen him until stepping on him 😅 But this was on a game drive and all of a sudden he lifted his head right in front of us and started the most magnificent roar I’ve ever seen. Perfect build up, powerful shaking of his mane, going on forever and then that glare at the end! This boy has got some proper base, simply stunning!
