Oloololo pride cubs, Maasai Mara, Kenya

I have been having a bit of fun with Instagram and the panorama setting on my iPhone since I am relying on only cell service now. I have not abandoned my beloved Nikon, but sometimes I just need a rest, to have fun, and just enjoy the extraordinary Mara. Here are the Oloololo pride cubs stalking a buffalo...badly. I think they think the bushes are keeping them covered, but we all can see them just fine.

The Mara has many secrets and this is mine. Today a lioness watches over the plains on the same spot that Massek and I normally sit.

I have never not seen lions here.
