I heard tales of a solitary lion wandering in a remote area of Serengeti NP (Tanzania) to look for a pride to take over. Fascinated, I spent 5 days searching for him. Found the lion totally relaxed in the shade of a kopje, we were able to approach him at a so close distance that my vehicle can distinctly be visible in his eyes. I used a long lens for getting an evocative portrait with the penetrating look of a supreme predator and capturing the distinctive and unique essence of his personality.
