TITLE: Fireworks

The last time I was in Masai Mara we heard 3 Rongai brothers were mating 3 lionesses to start their own pride. After tracking them a few days my guide, my brother and I found them early morning, luckily we were the only ones at the scene.

Patiently waiting, all we need was to see them in action. As soon as the lioness stood up and the male lion started to follow her, and so did us. I tried to get as low as I can so I can get the sky in the background of the subjects.

It doesn't take too long once they start mating, when they reached climax, these two magnificent beasts roared at each other and gave me the shot of a lifetime.
