This is my 3rd time visiting Masai Mara, probably the best place to see the big cats. My guide Patita, I cannot praise him enough by the way, he could almost speak to the lions, he knew where they would walk, stop, look etc. He told me and my brother that there are 3 young male lions (Rongai Boys) are mating with lionesses to start their own pride. We looked for them less than 10-15 minutes and then we found them. As soon as the lioness stood up and the male lion started to follow her, Patita started the car and drove to car to spot where the two lions started to mate. I tried to get low as I can so I can get the sky in the background, and when they reached climax these two magnificent beasts gave me this shot.
