Bathed in golden light, a lion and lioness rest together on the grassy plains, their amber eyes reflecting the untamed spirit of the African savannah. This vivid photograph captures the quiet power and grace of the king and queen of Kenya’s wildlife, evoking the scent of sun-warmed grass and the distant calls of the bush.

Produced by Sapra Studio, Nairobi, this postcard features original Kenyan stamps — a 50c Belenois aurota (Caper White butterfly) and a 5/- Charaxes druceanus teita butterfly — adding both visual interest and postal authenticity. The handwritten message speaks warmly of November’s glorious weather, good food, and travel plans along the East African coast. Light wear is present, but the image remains bold and vibrant.

For collectors of African wildlife photography, safari memorabilia, or philatelic items with butterfly-themed stamps, this postcard offers a unique blend of natural beauty and postal history. A tangible reminder of Kenya’s enduring allure for travellers and nature lovers alike.
