A Male Lion at Sunrise, Olare Motorogi Conservancy, Kenya

July 15, 2022

This golden light is why we nature photographers try to be out there before the sun rises. When I was at Gamewatchers’ Porini Lion Camp (Porini means “in the wild” in Swahili) in Kenya in early June we were awakened by the Swahili greeting “jambo” (“hello”) at 5:30 a.m. We were then given a tray with a pitcher of coffee or tea and 5 or 6 cookies which would get us going. We’d leave camp at 6:15 a.m. sharp and be looking for wildlife as we drove away. At around 8:00 a.m. we’d stop for a nice hot bush breakfast. This male lion was photographed at 7:05 a.m.
