FOCUSED

It was during a morning Game Drive, a very quiet drive. We have seen some Jackson’s hartebeest, some buffalos, but the drive was mostly quiet. We were on our way back to the Lodge for breakfast, when our guide suddenly stopped the car and lifted his binoculars. “There’s a leopard in the tree” he said, we didn’t see anything. He started the car and drove closer, and then we could see him as well. A beautiful male leopard was laying over one of the branches of a big sausage tree. We didn’t drive to close, in order not to disturb him, but we were close enough for him to take notice of us. He didn’t seem to be concerned by our presence, but still kept watching us focused with his big yellow eyes. We took some photos and then decided to leave him again. On the way back we asked our guide how he spotted the leopard. He told us, he just saw his tail, hanging down from the tree moving from side to side.
