~ Standing on the rear seat of the safari van — usually prohibited — I spotted a familiar pattern moving through the bushes. After Anthony heard where it was, he slightly moved the van. The leopard walked into its bolthole, a small clearing in the midst of otherwise solid botanical growth. It rested for a spell before sitting up, moving around the compact clearing to a position which suited its requirements. I supposed that it might be the final leopard for a long time, but it would be three months later when I'd photograph a leopard in Masai Mara. A thrilling conclusion to the safari, we thought.
