Nala

Dinokeng, South Africa, 2019

In the Lion King remake, Nala has had a modern overhaul. To quote The London Times, she has been transformed from a “long lashed love interest into an asskicking warrior femme.” Beyonce crearly enjoyed playing the role and nailed it.

In my experiences in Africa, that’s what lionesses are - they kick arse. Here is our Nala - not much “long lashed” romance here - just a warrior. My heart beats fast when a lioness is this close to me - they are magnificent, but dangerous cats.

Our thanks - as always - to Kevin Richardson for the access and his knowledge. Photographs like this would not be possible without his presence, his guidance and our long established partnership.
