A Real Parent's Story

The moment a lioness looked at my son and he stared back

A lioness walked within 10 meters of our jeep. My 8-year-old held his breath. For 20 seconds, they just looked at each other.

Read full story

I was nervous about bringing kids on safari. On day two, a lioness lay down in the shade of our jeep. My son whispered, Shes so beautiful. My daughter asked if we could name her. The Serengeti changed them.
