In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “(Extra)ordinary.”
On our last trip to Etosha National Park in Namibia we were very fortunate to come across these extraordinary animals who were just lying around having quite an ordinary day.
A lazy day in the soft rain
It was remarkable to see them up close like this.
Some of the lions in Etosha are collared to track them
And then they’d had enough of all the tourists staring at them and snapping pictures of them and they wandered off
We managed to catch one last glimpse
The encounter was made even more extraordinary by the fact that it occurred barely 100m from the gate of an enclosed picnic spot in the park where myself and one of our friends had got out of our vehicles literally a minute earlier to open and shut the gate. These guys clearly weren’t hungry.

As a child I always wanted a lion cub as pet and my dad used to say: “what are you going to do when it’s big?”. Why, get bigger hugs of course! 🙂
