World Lion Day falls on 10 August, each year. The day aims to create awareness about lions and the challenges that they face to survive.
In honour of these magnificent beasts, on World Lion Day, we have rounded up some of our favourite images from our Getaway Gallery entries over the years.
To actively support Worl Lion Day, donate to campaigns such as the Trek for Big Cats, educate yourself on captive lion breeding and canned hunting industry in South Africa by watching documentaries such as the Blood Lions (2015) and read our article on animal encounters.
