I've been to Tanzania several times (Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Tarangire, Selous). Was in Namibia 3 years ago, did a self drive that ended up in Etosha National Park. Namibia is a beautiful country. Almost went to Botswana last year but changed my mind at the last minute. I like to rent my own vehicle and self drive and Botswana is not very self drive friendly. I will get there sometime, I would love to see the Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park.
This leopard picture was taken last week in Kruger National Park, South Africa. I've been to Kruger several times and have explored the park from top to bottom. I recall you talking about game hunting in Africa. All of my trips have been for photography.

About 20 feet. I was driving down the road and passed the leopard without seeing him (happens all the time I'm sure). About 50 more feet down the road a bushbuck was alarm calling (kinda sounds like a dogs bark) and looking back in the direction I just came from. I stopped, backed up and there the leopard stood in the brush along the road.

Saw two leopards in daytime during my visits to Africa. A magnificent animal.
