The Serengeti announces itself with wildebeest, which are everywhere and always crossing something. This lot were strung over the track, kicking up dust, the front of a herd that ran back further than the frame.
The leopard was the one we nearly lost. Flat in the grass at the treeline, the colour of everything around it, until someone caught the line of its back and the vehicle stopped hard. After that the gazelles, keeping the polite distance gazelles always keep.
All on the 135, ISO 64 to 200 in strong afternoon light. First drive of the park and already the whole range of it, from the animal you cannot avoid to the one you almost drove straight past.
