21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Male Lion Perched on a Kopje, Serengeti National Park

The kopjes in the Serengeti are marvels of geology and magnets for wildlife. We spend a lot of time on our safaris in kopjes, often finding magnificent animals and scenes. I like this image for the relaxed, simple pose of this fantastic animal - the soul of the Serengeti.
