Recently a picture taken at this lion sighting has been popping up all over the internet saying the lion licked the guides boot. Lots of debate around the guide leaving his feet on display. You can see here that the guide could not move his feet until the lion lost interest, any movement could have been disastrous. You can also see that although the lion did sniff in the direction of the boot he did not make contact and certainly did not lick anything other than his own nose.
Once the lion sat down you can see the guide retreated to a safer position.
Safari vehicles often have no drivers doors so the guides can track more easily.
Lions often approach safari vehicles on hot days to utilise the shade and sudden movements during their approach, even starting the engine, can affect their behaviour so guide will wait for them to settle and then move away.
The lion shown is the Hipscar male of the Majingilane coalition a very well known lion and one the guides have spent numerous hours around so his behaviour and temperament is known.

The purporse of the Rob The Ranger Wildlife Videos YouTube channel is to show what it is like to experience an African safari. Nature Documentaries are often highly edited to tell a story, wildlife safaris are not and the idea here is to show the wildlife sightings the way they were seen. As safari tours in Africa are for all the family then this is an educationally family friendly channel, some scenes may be more graphic than people are used to but this is the reality of nature and is what you would see if you were present on such a safari in person. Safaris in Kenya, South Africa, or any other African country are an unrivalled experience for anyone with a passion for nature, wildlife photography, and travel. Hopefully this channel can provide a glimpse into what the nature experience is like and encourage more people to take a wildlife safari one day.
