To witness lions doing anything other than sleeping, is just pure luck. Lions will sleep for up to 20 hours everyday and only become active in the late afternoon as the heat from the day disappear. This is a time for grooming and bonding with each other and like all children, the cubs will take every opportunity to play.
Adults will on occasion join in the fun after which they most likely will set off on their hunting patrols. Aware that night time is the best time for hunting it makes absolute sense to sleep through the heat of the day, spending as little energy as possible on anything.
