Masai Mara's Celebrity Lions

Masai Mara's Celebrity Lions

Masai Mara's Celebrity Lions

There were one or two TV celebs to see in the Masai Mara too. This is Notch, the pride male that starred in the BBC series Big Cat Diaries. He's getting on now, but at 14 years old is still worthy of a good photograph! And his teeth, which he treated us to a good view of during this enormous yawn, are still impressive!


This pride of lions are used to being watched, but are nonetheless wild. Notch was quite a formidable presence. He is pictured here drinking from a rain puddle in the track.

And here trying to ignore a swarm of flies!
