Leopards are nocturnal predators so seeing one or several during daylight hours is precipitated by baiting. It is thrilling never the less, as we drove through the bush in an open jeep type vehicle, pretty soon I sighted several leopards in the bush or silently stalking looking for food.

I was seriously nervous here, the Cheetahs were quite agitated and I was worried about our guide. Luckily, no one was eaten.

I love seeing the local culture. Many times photos are not welcome, so at times I shoot on the drive by (from our vehicle).

Desert Fauna

These are some images of the desert flora and fauna. This desert is near the skeleton coast and without a guide, one could easily become lost or disoriented.

Etosha National Park, Nambia, Africa

My husband, myself, and a friend of ours were sitting in our vehicle, when our friend sited lions in the bush eating their kill. We turned off the engine and sat there and waited, while nine lions came out of the bush to drink from this puddle in the road, a few were on either side of the vehicle and I realized our windows were down. PANIC! I couldn't get my window to go up, it seemed to be stuck, but alas, up it went, to my relief. Whew!

This is taken in Etosha National Park in Namibia, Africa. The giraffes and zebras were abundant. This is a very large and remote national park, it takes about 2-3 days to drive through on dusty dirt roads.

I can't believe it's been 4 years since my husband and I visited Namibia, I'm going through some images and will be adding more, please check back. Thank you! Susan
