We did a tip to Masai Mara NP in Kenya about 30 years ago, and we stayed in a five star tent there with a Lion pride just outside a floodlighted fence with rifle toting guards.
We too were awakened in the night with Leo's roar. Stood us straight up in bed. Leo was very close by but could not see him in the dark. I have to say Leo had the absolute loudest animal sound I have ever heard. I will take that experience to my grave with me.
Beautiful set! He looks like a pussy cat that just wants to roll around and play! Was the lighting just moonlight?
Awesome photography!! Please keep doing it yourself it is amazing

This is from the first night and the male lion we saw after dark. I have never heard a lion full on let out a roar from 20 or so feet away.
It is something I will never forget! Then another answered far off in the distance. Later that night in my tent I was awakened and it sounded like Mr Lion was right under the tent. Tents here were on stilts and my tent was last in the well spread out row of tents and the gal who took me to my tent said many of the animals will pass under to go to the water hole which was just off the deck. Mr Lion was not under the tent I don’t think, but he certainly was close. Then the other replied and it was like that several times during the night. I did not mind being woke up for roaring lion. The elephants were not to be outdone and they had a lot of trumpeting and rumbling to go along with Mr Lion! It sounded very much like a wild kingdom just outside the tent!
So, I would have to say it was close to if not the highlight of the trip.
I have never done photography where they put a bright spot light on the animals. I think these turned out rather well for my first time!

Three or four of them would make a great display!
Some amazing and wonderful photos of the King of Beasts. Congratulations on getting those photos. I agree they are big kittens, very big kittens.
