Finally posting a short series from some very fine days on two separate Reserves. We started on Tintswalo and ended on Mala Mala. Both are adjacent to Kruger and the game moves unimpeded between the Reserves and Kruger. Download, double click for best view/detail.

I really like the one of the leopard. Great shot of a hard-to-find animal.

Love these!!! We were in Sabi Sands (next to Mala Mala) last September...probably saw some of these very same animals. Africa gets under your skin...longing to go back....

Wow! You made excellent use of your fast lenses!
Thanks! I love shooting in the dim light !! Took a 24 -70 2.8 a 70-200 2.8 and a 200-400 4. Used the 70-200 for a lot of dawn/dusk shots. Sometimes to my detriment I stubbornly try to shoot low ISO to get the range.
