LIONS & LEOPARDS Photo Safari July 2011 TRIP A

Just back from a fantastic June Photo Safari which took in all the best locations that we offer,
Kruger National Park, The Big Cat Reserve, Private Reserves, Gomo Gomo and Mala Mala as well as the 2 night Forest Lodge extension - this is the best variety on offer from our South African Photo safaris.

Many thanks to our Rangers, Jaco, Ewan and Kurt and the staff at all the locations for looking after us and helping to create a very memorable photo safari.

There were many highlights, but perhaps the top highlight was a male Leopard kill at Mala Mala. After suffocating the female Nyala antelope the male Leopard was robbed of his hard earned prize by 4 Hyaenas. He still managed to steal some of it back and we caught up with him in the super morning light finishing off his meal.

All the best from the WILD4 team, until next time.
