@maureenpowel: As a Leo, walking beside lions in the motherland felt like a full circle moment for me. An experience rooted in respect, education and preservation. Being this close to such powerful animals humbled me deeply. Africa has a way of reminding you who you are. One funny moment I’ll never forget: one of the lions suddenly ran off because he spotted a warthog! The handlers were laughing because mister decided he would only come back when he felt like it. And when he finally returned, he casually got a big hug like a spoiled king. And yes… I offered to come back and volunteer/work with the sanctuary in the future. I’ll share more about that journey soon. 🤎 #fathalawildlifereserve #fathala #safari #leo
