  2. Gorgeous wildlife capture. Well done.

  3. Wow! Gorgeous…would I be a female leopard – I’ll be interested in him too:D

  4. You were very lucky to see a leopard at all, let alone this close, let alone in a tree. I lived in Kenya and Uganda the first 25 years of my life, two years of which my job involved close contact with wildlife. Only once did I ever see them with all three conditions: 1)up close and 2)in a tree and 3)in daylight

  5. thanks y’all. Jitze: i feel incredibly blessed… will post some more photos soon, the end of this tale, and even the trackers said they have never seen anything like it…

  6. Oh man, I wish I had a dime for every totally clueless guy that didn’t notice me up in a tree, barking.

  7. Leopard drool! Very rare!
