Lions of the Serengeti Photography Series
Guardians of the
Eternal Plains
Serengeti- an ancient eco system like no other.
Epic, evocative and enduring.
Endless grass meeting endless skies, broken only by kopjes, granite sentinels older than time itself. One billion years old worn smooth by wind and rain.
Guardian of the Plains
Rock Prince
Majesty
Each year, over a million wildebeest pour across 1,800 miles of open country in the greatest wildlife spectacle on Earth. All of it driven by rain and grass. All of it witnessed by the lion.
Three thousand lions. The largest lion population in Africa. They have ruled this ancient kingdom for half a million years. Apex predators in an apex landscape.
“We have Jules’ magnificent photograph” Regal Entrance” in our hall. Every time I pass, it gives me a lump in my throat and a longing to be on safari. It is such a masterful shot, so atmospheric and evocative”

The Serengeti plains are their one of their last strongholds in Africa & these images are a testament to that sovereignty.

Serengeti 2026
A male lion had displayed the flehman response once and when he started to do it again I went for a tighter portrait framing his head and mane against the sky. The resulting evocative portrait depicts a majestic lion at the height of his power.

The Full Story Behind The Photo
We had found the Gol Kopje pride early one morning, but rather than stay with the lionesses and cubs I focused my attention on one of the charismatic male lions. This male had already displayed the flehmen response once, sniffing the air in the middle of the plains. When he started to do it again, I went in for a tighter portrait using my monopod to point my lens upwards to focus on his mane and head against the sky and making good use of negative space. The resulting evocative portrait depicts a majestic lion at the height of his power.
