Leopards are like phantoms of the wild, silent, stealthy, and incredibly elusive. Often, a glimpse is all you get. Time and again, we’ve watched these cats dissolve into the undergrowth, vanishing with a single shift of their shoulders. For thi

After decades documenting leopards, each moment with them still feels like a privilege. These elusive cats reveal themselves in fragments, often just a blur of spots in the dappled shade, or a quick, penetrative glance – a pause before they sli

With laser-like focus, this cheetah mother scanned the horizon, reading the savannah for approaching threats or a potential meal. Even here in the Maasai Mara, one of the world’s most important cheetah strongholds, survival is never guaranteed.

In landscapes where elephants reign, water courses and drinking holes are often shaped by these giants. In Savute, a dynamic area in northern Botswana regulated by shifting water levels, this elephant bull quenched his thirst from a temporary well he
