Can you spot the leopard?

Hidden among the rocks and vegetation, this beautiful leopard is quietly resting near the waterhole.

These are the moments that make a safari so special. Sometimes the most incredible sightings are the ones you have to look twice to find.

Did you spot it straight away, or did you need a second look?
