Big male lion on a misty morning – Maasai Mara, Kenya 2025

Big male lion on a misty morning.

It was a very misty morning in the Olare Motorogi Conservancy in Kenya’s Maasai Mara. As the mist began to lift, we spotted Osupat, a big and dominant male lion. He headed straight towards us, passing by our vehicle by just a metre or so. Such a powerful and impressive big lion on a misty morning. The mist seemed to enhance the appearance of power in this big cat.
