Waking up on Duba
A lion male wakes up on Duba Plains in the Okovango Delta ahead of the day's hunt. Mist blankets the landscape to create an eery mood.

Wow! How'd you get this, camped out? do game drives start this early? Appreciate your response.
Frits Hoogendijk  Hi! Thanx for the comment! This was taken from a game viewing vehicle, we got up at 4h00 and left shortly thereafter (special arrangement with the lodge), thick fog covered the whole area creating this lovely scene and all worth the early rise!!
By Chakshusmriti  Thanks for taking the time to answer. a most unusual safari shot.bravo!

Amazing, and you must have been pretty close to this lion. Do you think you could have captured this with a less expensive camera? :>)
Frits Hoogendijk  :)) Yes pretty expensive camera - but all worth it, the image quality is just mind blowing and I use it for the majority of my work! Was pretty close yes, these guys sometimes come and lie in the shade of the vehicle later in the day - quite an experience!! Thanx for the comment!
