Meet Cyrus - the large male leopard that usually frequents the Ngobeni waterhole area on the H14 road. With the 2015/2016 drought all animals are having to travel further to find food and water - here is Cyrus at the Nandzana waterhole, about 10 kilometers away from where he's usually found.

Leopards are so mysterious and strong - you've captured both traits in your images.

"It's 768 pages of the most amazing information. It consists of, well, everything really. Photography info...area info...hidden roads..special places....what they have seen almost road by road. Where to stay just outside the Park...camp information. It takes quite a lot to impress me but I really feel that this book, which was 7 years in the making, is exceptional."            - Janey Coetzee, founder of CAROK (Camps and Roads of Kruger)  South Africa
