There were only a dozen of us in the 22 seater vehicle; we four sat up the back like all the cool kids do. I was able to keep moving from side to side to take pics.
We saw 18 different kind of animals, some multiple times - zebra, elephant, rhino, giraffe, puff adder, chameleon, kudu, water buck, baboon, vervet monkey, eqyptian goose, springbok, crocodile, steenbok, gnu, impala, tsesebe - and the pick of the day - LEOPARD!! We weren't close enough to photograph everything (giraffe, baboon), some moved too quickly (monkey, she was in a real hurry) and the leopard was in the dark (blurry).
At the waterhole.
We saw the leopard twice; she was just walking along the road towards us. She crossed in front and wandered off into the bush. Suddenly, 3 other nearby safari trucks descended; there were 4 spotlights searching for her. After a short while our driver saw her just nonchalantly walking along the road again. She wasn't scared or bothered by our presence.
Chameleon, another night shot.
