Travelogue Tanzania 2009
The best pictures – Leopard

We did not see leopards bud we saw one leopard, apart from a rhino the only species we only saw one animal of. But it was amazing.

Pray of a leopard up in a tree. We wouldn’t have seen it. But for our guide this was a clear sign that there’s a leopard around. He even spotted the animal but it was hidden in the bushes so we could hardly see it.

But it was pretty far away from us – we were very glad to have our binoculars and the long lens for the camera. On the upper left the pray, on the right in the middle the hunter.
