Lions are among Africa's most iconic animals, yet each has its own character and place within the pride. This gallery by wildlife photographer Steve Segall celebrates the power, beauty and social lives of lions across southern Africa, from majestic males and watchful lionesses to playful cubs, tender family moments and the quiet rhythms of life on the African savannah. Together, these photographs offer an intimate portrait of one of the continent's most remarkable predators.

Photographs taken in South Luangwa National Park, Zambia, Nxai Pan National Park, Botswana, and Kruger National Park, South Africa.
