For one heart-stopping moment, this giant Simba was 7 feet away, had his eyes fixed upon me, and was walking right toward me in my open-sided safari vehicle. My pulse went through the roof, but I kept shooting with my silent-shutter, and at the last possible second, he turned aside and walked around our vehicle. This was in a private reserve adjacent to Masai Mara in Kenya. It's at the Fairmont Mara Safari Club, a fantastic place. I love African game viewing and have been at various places in Kenya and South Africa, but the Mara Safari Club was by far the best.
