7 Photography Holidays Where You May Encounter The African Lion
The photography holidays listed below operate in regions & habitats where the African Lion is regularly encountered. As with all wildlife photography, sightings can never be guaranteed, but our itineraries are designed around seasonal behaviour, suitable habitat, & photographic opportunity, giving you the best possible chance of meaningful encounters in the field.
Our small-group approach allows time in the field to adapt to conditions, behaviour, & photographic opportunities as they unfold.
You can photograph the African Lion in Africa, Botswana, & Kenya. During our photography holidays, the African Lion is often photographed alongside African Elephant, Leopard, African Leopard, Giraffe, Impala, & Plains Zebra.
Seasonal presence & photographic opportunity vary by location & time of year.
Photography themes commonly associated with this species include absolutely iconic species, African wildlife, big cats, mammal, photographic safaris based in Africa, & wildlife whilst on safari in Africa.
