Decided to reprocess this one from last year.

Contrary to most predator shots, we've got the animals in profile instead of facing the camera. I feel that this is okay considering that the pair of lionesses came sprinting out of nowhere attempting to ambush a group of three nyala that were a mere 20 feet from our car.

The nyala booked it outta there while the lionesses paused and scanned ahead in the direction that their prey fled.

I'm hanging out of the window taking pics while my wife was thinking I was their next meal. In hindsight, it probably wasn't the safest thing to do, but it is what it is!

It was a rush.

The backstory is worth every bit as much as the pic ... likely more.

1000% more - adrenaline was pumping at max output!

The entire scene was too perfect. A kill would have been devastating and awesome at the same time, but we had to ration our luck for the rest of the trip.

Yeah in those enclosed parks the animals are not afraid of humans/cars at ALL!

It's not as bad in Kruger, but you still need to keep your head on a swivel.
