Leopards of Sabi Sands

[Ngala]

From Londolozi Game Reserve, 18 March 2016: The Week in Pictures #223 by Trevor McCall-Peat

"The Inyathini male. A year ago I saw this male for the first time. He erupted from the side of the road and headed for the hills but through the great work and patience of the guiding and tracking team he has begun to relax around vehicles, allowing us into his personal space to capture images like this."

"Any time you capture two of these elusive animals in one shot is incredible. The Mashaba female and her 10 month old cub treated us to a morning full of life lessons as the adult showed off her well-tuned skills of climbing, stalking and pouncing, things the youngster is learning fast and will use more and more of in the months to come."

"Using picture styles in-camera allows one to change sharpness, contrast, saturation and colour tone which is advantageous as very little work – if any – is needed in post processing. A leopard on a rock is always a great photographic opportunity." The Nhlanguleni Female

From Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve:
"Warthog Wallow was spotted moving close to the Charleston males' and Southern Pride's kill site, and eventually managed to find and catch a Leopard tortoise."
