This stunning North Chinese Leopard tends now to be more elusive. So when he comes out to give us his special version of 'HI!’ It's extremely special indeed!!

Male cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) - one of two relatively young brothers traveling together in the Sabi Sands region of South Africa. They caused a big stir with our rangers and trackers, as they are not frequently seen in this area. There are large prides of lions and the terrain is marshy and not supportive of cheetah's style of hunting. It is surmised they left their mom and were wandering the reserves around Kruger NP looking for territory to call their own. We encountered them over several days and there will be more pictures to recount our adventures with them.

Bengal tiger Awi

we saw this blond male a few times in Mara North Conservancy, while he was in the company of a female of a small pride. Initially she refused to mate with him but we heard afterwards that they were seen while mating.
