We were parked where you see the cars across the way when we saw the leopard. Then it crouch back down and did not come back up. You can see it here just below the cars.

Early Morning Leopard

In all of Graham's years as a game ranger and guiding, he'd never had a leopard siting this good! Obviously, my best ever!

Close Encounter

Wow!!! Graham rolled his window up after the first time the leopard jumped in front of his window. They started at one another for a good minute before the leopard looked away. It was early morning, and all the camera gear was in the back of the car. Fortunately, we had the "snappy" at hand.
