I photographed this lioness in the Matobo Hills in Zimbabwe, where her strength and presence perfectly captured the power of Africa’s big cats.
While travelling through the Matobo Hills in Zimbabwe, I had the chance to observe one of Africa’s most powerful predators at close range. Lionesses are the driving force of the pride — they hunt, protect the group and provide for their young. What impressed me most was the combination of strength, concentration and absolute confidence. In moments like this, it is easy to understand why the lioness is one of the most commanding figures of the African wilderness.
