I absolutely love the big cats and this collection is honestly breathtaking!! Incredible stuff.
Which parks have you found have the highest hit rate for cheetahs? What about leopards?
Thanks for the inspiration, I have to get back to Africa ASAP now
You are much too kind and thank you so much for those nice comments. My leopard hot spot has always been Botswana but having said that, the Sabi Sand in S. Africa is considered great leopard country and Kenya, in the Mara Triangle can be as well...albeit with many many more vehicles. Cheetahs are more elusive but I've seen far more in Tanzania than anywhere else...two safaris there produced 13 and 11 different ones.

Superb post. Your cat collection is second to none. And I happen to know how many other goodies you're hidimg on your website.
