Makepisi Male Leopard: Second Sighting
A portrait of Makepisi male leopard, captured during our intense four-day photographic safari in the Motswari Private Nature Reserve in Greater Kruger National Park, Mpumalanga province, South Africa.
Makepisi was the first of three unique leopards we encountered during four separate leopard sightings.
Leopards are notoriously elusive, and this particular sighting was our second sighting of Makepisi. It was nearly 48 hours after our first sighting, and we found him very close to the termite mound on which we found him during our first drive.
