Kibumbu pride lioness's take down a wildebeest.

[Marc Mol]

8.06 am under heavy overcast skies and a lioness from the 30+ Kibumbu pride is seconds away from successfully bringing down a Wildebeest.

The subsequent frames of the actual takedown were obscured behind the only other vehicle at this sighting..........what were the chances! That's wildlife photography for you.

Very nice. Lots to take in here. Love the chase of course. The trees in the background give some nice depth. Like the pano crop as well.

Wow what a scene Marc! Great action in amazing classic serengeti setting. Love the chase and the WB running for their lives! Too bad you couldn't get the take down! But a frame to cherish! Hope you come back with more solid images!

Simply fantastic Mark !!! I dream of taking images like this someday
