[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The next stop in our travel was Africat foundation http://www.africat.org/
This leopard is a huge 8-yo male.
We have found him going on the jeep right through the bush with a radio-receiver in hands. This male has a radio-collar, so when he is not behind a mountain (the territory of this foundation farm is enormous) the visitors have chance to see this beauty.
We were told he had caught an oryx a day before, so he was lazy and didn't try to run away from us.

The AFRICAT is a must place to visit if you want to see leopard, cheetah and lions. I will not bother Trekearth community with photos of big cats, but as soon as I finish posting Etosha photos on my Treknature account I will switch to my Africat ones there.
One more word about AFRICAT: hotel is beautiful "ethnically" designed and cozy, service is perfect, food very nice.

olga

the animal is very nice put, good pov, light and subject. I think it would be better if the upper side of the animal had been shown but I think you was doing a fast work to take the marvelous position of the animal, it is like posing
