What a great sighting! Loved the photos! Good for the francolin, bad for the leopard! Hopefully she found something to eat soon thereafter!

I did not see a photographic credit, so I am assuming Jo-Lynne took these truly amazing photos. Especially the one of the leopard in a full air pounce is amazing. These are truly once in a lifetime shots. Gorgeous photography and thank you for sharing.

A sighting of a lifetime! That’s what safaris are all about. Each day is a gift, opened with anticipation, and providing joy for whatever you receive. That was a wonderful sequence of photos.
