The Lions of Sasan Gir
By Tony on July 5, 2008 | 1 Comment »
SUCCESS!!! As we mentioned in our post Lions and Tigers and Bears – Oh My, one of our major reasons for coming to Gujarat was to come to Sasan Gir National Park to go lion hunting (with cameras). We had such an incredible lion viewing – far better than we had ever hoped. The lions came so close to the jeep that at one point Thomas could have reached out and touched one lion’s back (although he didn’t because he wanted to keep his hand).
And our viewing was relatively long, allowing time for me to take some fantastic photos and for Thomas to shoot a short video to give our visitors a glimpse of one of the rarest wild cats in the world, the Asiatic Lion. Click here to view the pictorial.

Wow, this would be too close for comfort for me.
By the way, how did you get that photo shot of the lion with the truck and people in the background?
