[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Lions at Salvadora Waterhole. It took us pretty long time to find lions in Etosha (not to count 1 male that came to Okaukuejo camp waterhole when it was completely dark).
Records at the camps stated that lions do like Salvadora, tourists had been seen up to 20 lions in a pride there just before we came to the park. Our third attempt visiting this waterhole gave us this great opportunity to take photos of this couple half an hour before sunset.
Salvadora Waterhole is a natural waterhole located right on the edge of Etosha pan between Okaukuejo and Halali camps.
Also posting animals from Eosha NP on TrekNature (same nick as here - Delfin).

Hello Olga... Safari... The models meet the light and life tissues and good has been offered.. Successes

Привет!
Замечательные львы у тебя :) Ты их как из волшебной коробочки достаешь!
Красивое фото, спасибки!

Hi Olga!!

what a nice capture during your safari there! The couple are very well composed, with the sun behind them. Light is wonderful in this shot!
Mind that I was so unlucky about lions!! I went three times to South Africa and I never saw a lion, visiting three different National Game Parks!
You must tell me your tour in Namibia, I hope to go there next time I'll have to go to South Africa.

Ciao!!

Livia
