Elephant Plains Day 2: Leopards and backlit lions

Here's my room at Elephant Plains. A "roundel". The roof is authentic thatch, inside and out.



At night, we found lions. Eventually, a family gathered to drink from a shallow pool. Later, we arranged our two trucks to share backlighting duties. One truck's ranger would light a lion while photogs across the way in the other truck would shoot away, then the duties would be traded.
