Stroking a Lion

Thank you so much Ellen – I can still ‘feel’ that experience – strange how some things affect you more than others.

Isn’t he Dawn – loved the whole afternoon – such beautiful animals – thnak you.

Christine I so laughed at your comment!! Definitely a treasured moment. Thank you very much.

Yes I do Rod – I sometimes feel compelled to write a story on my travels from backpacking days but instead sometimes keep a diary of names etc to remind me!! Photos are the best. Thank you so much. Liz

They had been well fed though- or so they told us!! Thank you Dave,Liz

Thank you very much Lucinda

I laughed at your comment too Felicity – I know, I was expecting a fluffy thing too!! They called them cubs as they were only 15 months and were not fully grown!! Thank you.

Thank you Al – great experience.

Yes, I agree with that – this one did rise up and there’s a shot of me talking to it – ‘Good boy,’ several times, just in case he wanted to cuddle me!! Had to tap the ground with the stick then but he looked so innocent. Thank you.

Thank you for taking time to look in.

Yes it was Bill, thank you – such majestic animals.

Thank you Terry and it was .

Thank you Louise – you don’t really want those moments to end:) :)

Ha Ha Albert – he was soooo lazy – they had just been fed – and were so laid back. Thank you – you made me laugh.

It felt exactly like ‘Born Free’ and this one and his sister will never be put back into the wild because they are accustomed to being handled – loved it. Thank you very much. Liz

Yes , I am Patricia – I am trying to do all the things I have wanted to do for so long; but first children, then my business meant I had less time for personal pursuits – although I’ve travelled all my life – I am making the most of the freedom I have now. Thank you very much for your conmment. Liz

And I do appreciate the time I have to spend on all my travels – thank you very much Robert.

Yes it was – had always wanted to get close but did think that the ‘cubs’ would have been smaller!! Thank you for lovely comment.

Thank you very much – it was a great afternoon with the two ‘cubs’

Yes, I did , thank you again.

Thank you Wendy – I loved the whole afternoon walking with them. Liz

Thank you Steve – you obviously understand the way of cats – mine used to do that too- I still miss my three but when I stop travelling so much I’ll get a few more. They are the most amazing animals, domesticated and wild!! But you made me laugh – yes you would only experience it once !!!

Yes it was – thank you so much – I like seing the wild side when I take a riding trip!!

Oh Pat so sorry to hear about your loss- that’s terrible. I’ve never swum with dolphins but I believe it is a superb experience. I hoped it helped you. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Liz xxx

I’ve always wanted to do this and it was a wonderful afternoon spent with the two 15 month old cubs!! Thank you again Lyn

Thank you so much Lisa – so honoured. I’ve always wanted to ‘walk’ with lions so it was a superb experience. In USA past 2 weeks and computer crashed a week before I came away so this is the first of me getting on line !!

Aw – great news Nancy – thank you very much. Life on the wild side!!. Liz

Thank you very much Mekea – sorry this is late – not been on RB much. Trying to finish a book I’m writing. Liz
