Description |
In efforts towards team building at the secondary boarding school in Tanzania I was doing research at in the Summer of 2015, the staff at the school went on a two day trip to two different national parks in Tanzania. We took a road trip on a big bus, and drove through the parks on the bus. This photo was taken at the Lake Manyara National Park, where they explicitly advertised they were �home of the tree-climbing lions�. As we were on the bus, our tour guide told us that actually, it�s sometimes rare to seem a lion here. However, on that trip, we ran into several lions, close enough where we had to turn off the bus engine and stay completely still and quiet so that they may leave without disturbing us. This lion was leisurely napping in a tree, seeing as it had pretty much no other predators in the park. We were really lucky that day to see so many lions! |
