      ODP Safaris - Leopard cubs update:

      There are a number of females at Elephant Plains with cubs at the moment.
      Karula, Salayexe, Nyaleti (if we can find her....) and Shadow (having just lost hers)
      Although painfully shy we still get a few good opportunities with these little gems.
      It really is a huge privileged to be able to view these little guys.

      This image is one of Karulas little ones.
      With careful consideration we positioned the vehicle and waited.... Slowly the little guy came out and our position was perfect to get a eye level shot!

      I wont ask how you got so low down Superb shot and sighting of this youngster!The angle and DOF is a winner! As previously stated, to get the eye contact is the cherry on the top! W.D

      Leopard cubs : my favorite animals !! ( just have a look on my photos and you will understand how addicted I am )
      I can jump in a plane and travel on thousands of kilometers to see such tiny things .

      Very nice eye level shot
      Thanks for sharing.

      How old is this one approx ?

      JFP - When I photographed this image on the 30th of Apr they were just over 2 months old. (..if I remember correctly...)
      Travel thousands of miles to get a shot of a cub..... I know the feeling all too well!
      You have to be a crazy wildlife photographer to have fantastic ideas like that!

      JONOPLEGER - Thankfully the vehicle was positioned much lower than where the cub came out the bush. Therefore we got eye-level shots with nothing too sinister.......... for a change.... LOL

      Thanks for the comments everyone, it is much appreciated!
