Ngala Means Lion
Ngala means Lion in Shangaan, which is the native language around Ngala Game Reserve in South Africa. Earlier this year I stayed at Ngala while on safari and Ngala (Lion) just happened to be the very first animal we saw!
These Lions were lounging on full stomachs. The remains of a kill from the day before were somewhere beyond them in the thickets below some perched Vultures. It was comical how they rolled around in the grass without a care in the world. I would probably compare it to how we feel after a Thanksgiving meal.
For more Lion images and info (including my close encounter with a Lioness) see my previous post about the South African Lions.
