‘The Truth About Lions’ on BBC2
Lions in the Masai Mara, Kenya.
Ever wondered why lions are the only big cats to live in family groups? No, I hadn’t either but a new two-part BBC2 nature documentary is about to tell us why.
To find the answer wildlife filmmaker, Jonathan Scott (you might remember him from the BBC’s Big Cat Diary series), spent time with the famous Marsh Pride in the Musiara area of the Masai Mara in Kenya.
Once again, Governors’ Camp (a favourite amongst Audley clients), hosted Jonathan and the rest of the BBC film crew. Here is a quote from Warren Samuels, one of the cameramen:
“We could have gone anywhere in Africa to find a pride of lions and film them to match the behavioural science that we have gathered from leading lion experts, but the Musiara Marsh stood out as being one of the prettiest locations to film lions and the Marsh Pride were the obvious choice as the films main characters as they are so well known by audiences worldwide.”
You can see ‘The Truth About Lions’ on the following dates:
- March 23rd on BBC 2 at 9pm
- March 30th on BBC 2 at 9pm
