Lion Encounter
At Victoria Falls, we had the opportunity to get up close and personal with lions. In "Walk with a Lion" at the Victoria Falls Lion Encounter, we not only got to walk with, but touch several lions who are being raised there as part of a rescue program. The lion population in Africa has decreased by 80-90 percent over the last 20-30 years, and this program is attempting to help in reintroducing the offspring of captive-bred lions back into the wild. The lions are not caged during the walk, and are free to run into the bush if they choose to. This picture was taken from just a few feet away in the open.
