There were many highlights, but for me, one of the best was spending over 1.5 hours in broad daylight with a leopard and her two full grown male cubs towards the end of the trip in Serengeti. Serengeti has some of the most restrictive viewing conditions of any Wildlife Refuge that I have been in (no off roading, very few roads, huge area, etc), but despite this it rained leopards there. We spent two sessions with this trio, one long and one short, this series is from the first long one, as they gamboled friskily on trees. This is a series where one of the male cubs suddenly popped up above its mother, leapt to a lower branch, literally bounced once and was gone! I probably should have reduced the sequence further, but what the heck, I liked all the shots!
