African lion with a full mane lies resting on a sandbar in the middle of a shallow river, mouth open as he pants. A long telephoto take of a male lion by water. Shot on a super-telephoto lens for a frame-filling, naturalistic perspective with a soft, uncluttered background that keeps attention on the animal and its behaviour. This royalty-free 4K telephoto footage suits nature and wildlife documentaries, conservation and environmental campaigns, eco-tourism and safari marketing, editorial features, educational and school content, broadcast inserts, websites, blogs, social media reels, advertising and print. Filmed in the Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya, the northern reach of the Greater Mara - Serengeti ecosystem and one of Africa's most celebrated safari destinations, famed for the Great Migration and its dense populations of lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants and plains game, where this species ranges across the surrounding Mara conservancies and the wider East African savanna.
