Previous Gallery  -  Up   -  Next Gallery

 

Here you will find some photographs of the most beautifull African Big Cats. They are beautifull, they are powerfull, they are 100 % grace. Notice : big cats' photography in southern africa is quite different than in Tanzania or Kenya. Here,Most of these predators are elusive. They don't move in open places, but mostly in a thick bush... Howether, ambiances & sceneries are astonishing.... The smallest images are the "old" archives.
