Photographer captures amazing images of lions at watering hole after submerging himself for three months | Mail Online

He began a long-term waiting game where he sat semi-submerged for 270 hours to get the big cats on film.

But as these never-before-seen pictures show, his hard work - three hours per day for seven days a week in the water - was definitely worth the wait.

It came at a huge price for the photographer who was diagnosed with Bilharzia and contracted several parasites which he soaked up through the dirty water in the drinking hole.

Let’s not let his sacrifice go to waste here. Also, let’s book him a few wedding photo gigs while we’re at it - this is so crazy.
