Difficult to beat a leopard in the wild, except perhaps two leopards like you have here! Nice series.

Superb work. From the look of the 2nd last one, you were very close? Must have been awesome.

Good control for what I'm guessing is harsh light. Well done.

Thanks All for the comments.

Merv, yes we were pretty close 20-30 feet in some cases. 70-200 and 300 f2.8 were the lens' being used. Lighting was tricky shooting up into the trees.

Really beautiful pictures - Mother and child is best for me because it's so unusual. You really get bang for your buck at Mala Mala - just unaffordable for most of us locals - glad you enjoyed it.

This is a nice treat

You were very lucky to experience these in their natural surroundings.

Well done!
