My wife and I have done 3 photographers safaris in Africa, 2 in the Masai Mara in Kenya, and 1 in Chobe NP in Botswana. We went to the Mara with David Lloyd Photographers Safaris, and both times stayed in Entim Camp. One night on our first visit we were woken up by thumping and crashing from right behind our tent. We asked the warriors guarding the camp what it was when we went for breakfast, apparently there were a couple of elephants having a disagreement. The warriors tried to move them on, but I guess if an elephant doesn't want to go, not much can be done to persuade him. In Botswana we stayed in tents, which were moved every couple of days as we moved around. We had a bush toilet outside our tent, surrounded by a canvas screen. We could lie in our beds and listen to the lions roaring nearby, and hear honey badgers snuffling around. Because we were many miles from anywhere, our midnight bathroom visits showed the heavens in all their glory, you could almost read by starlight. We went to Botswana with Images of Wildlife, wonderful trips! We would love to go back, Africa gets under your skin, but it's an awful long way from Tucson, and we don't get over jet lag too quickly these days.

You captured some amazing leopard images. Well done. I agree that Africa does get under your skin after a 2019 trip to Tanzania.

An extraordinary group of images !!! I have never seen such beautiful pictures as those you have taken. They are worthy of Nat'l Geographic photography.
