Deputy President William Ruto walks with lions in Zambia (Photos)

Our Deputy President seems to have taken walking with lions quite literally this festive season.

DP William Ruto accompanied by his family walked with lions and cheetahs at a park in Livingstone, Zambia.

Images of the Ruto clan interacting with the wild cats were made available on his official facebook page with the caption “Walking with lions and cheetahs in Livingstone, Zambia. A lifetime experience!”

The Lion Encounter as it is called is a tourist experience whereby visitors are allowed 45 minutes to one hours to interact with lion cubs. Armed with just a walking stick, visitors pay to walk, pet and take photos of the experience. The lions roam wild and free but if it’s any consolation, the cubs are less than 18 months old.

It is a package only available in Zimbabwe but arrangements can be made for guest staying in Livingstone on the Zambian side of the Victoria Falls according to classicencounters.com.
