She's the Lion Queen!

Lady Gaga spent some time today getting up close and personal with a pride of lions.

With the heading "SAFARI PICTURE," Gaga shared some photos on Twitter. In one, she said, "I'm about 10 feet from 13 lions, 2 cubs. I spent about 30 minutes w them and took a nap!"

With another, she wrote: "I took this one about 5 feet away from her, isn't she beautiful!"

Gaga is set to perform at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg tonight and at the Cape Town Stadium on Monday.
