Travel Guide

This was one of the most incredible sightings on safari in Kruger National Park. The leopard can be an elusive find, but our expert safari guide, Elvis, tracked down this beautiful creature in a tree, just as it was finishing breakfast and a bath.

For more of the story, and photos, see: "Seeing the Big 5 on Safari with Elvis', at http://www.travelblissnow.com/seeing-the-big-5-on-safari-with-elvis/

Don’t forget to look up in the trees while on Safari. Leopards tend to sleep and drag their prey up to higher grounds. #lifeatexpedia #bigcats
