These wonderful (yes, we said wonderful) creatures are absolutely beautiful (yes, we said that too) and a joy to experience while on safari! Whether it be at the den site, around a kill or getting into conflict with other predators, they are always entertaining and always up to something!

We wish and his guests a wonderful time in South Africa's Greater Kruger as they depart for their "Predators of Sabi Sabi & MalaMala" photo safari today!
