An hour into the vast wilderness of Kruger National Park, we ventured down a dirt road and stumbled upon a cluster of vehicles. A leopard had been spotted but had just slipped away. We decided to wait, fingers crossed, hoping for the majestic cat's return. And then, (10-15 minutes later) it happened! Our amazing tour guide ‘Jason’ spotted a glimpse of movement in the tall grass with the leopard’s distinctive patterned fur shuffling through the vegetated grass.
The Noble Leopard, also called, Ngwe by the Zulus and Nkew by the Basutos, emerged from the tall grass, cautiously analyzing its surroundings. Suddenly, with a burst of agility, the leopard leapt into a tree, returning to its meal—a whole impala's head left nestled in the branches. Witnessing this incredible sight was pure magic. The leopard, the scenery, the moment…it was all so breathtakingly beautiful.
I used my Sony 200-600mm lens for these shots, honestly, I wasn’t even concentrating on the camera. I just wanted to capture the moment, but also be in it.
