Final roar

 

 


Just before the end of the filming day we came across this large male lion. As the sun was going down he began roaring so loudly that you could really feel the air vibrating.

 

He kept on walking away from the direction where the BCD camp was. Every now and then he would stop and roar again.

 
  The filming cars tried to follow him.
Several times the lion came very, very close to the filming car.  
  Filming continued for as long as there was enough light and the lion was actually doing something.
It turns out that the tracks vehicles leave in the Mara are also used by the lions.  
  Still the same male. Already not roaring much.

Final roaring being filmed by Simon King (honestly, it was him!).
