Astonishing images Trevor!! How I miss Londolozi…
GREAT IMAGES! WERE TWO VEHICLES REQUIRED FOR THE MATIMBA MALE LIGHTING?
Great pictures.
The Matimba males seem to have settled, is it down to the fact they now have cubs and prefer to stick closer to them?
Wow, love the picture of the Matimba male’s cold stare! Great job, I really enjoy the pictures you post weekly.
