In Southern Africa, there is amazing elephant, lion and leopard viewing anytime of year, but we had some great spottings recently. Below is a series of photos shot that exude incredibly vibrant colors, lighting and clouds. The week I took these shots was wet and overcast, but we have been spoilt with some beautiful afternoons, some fantastic game viewing and the most amazing Sunset last night to end it off!
