The Leopard Tree
A once-in-a-lifetime sighting…
I’ve been visiting South Africa’s game reserves for twenty or thirty years, and have never seen anything like this - a leopard in a tree, with her cub. She had hung a kill, an impala, high in the branches overlooking a dry river bed, on the opposite side from the road. As long as there was food in the larder, she wasn’t going anywhere. Over the course of two days, and three or four visits to the leopard tree, I managed to get these shots.
