Male leopard named Pelo Kgale meaning Braveheart, Xigera, Botswana

A Watchful Eye From "Braveheart"

Species: Male Leopard Named Pelo Kgale Meaning Braveheart | Location: Xigera, Botswana

By Sharon Conrad

We watched this male leopard climb this tree in the morning at Xigera. He played with the carcass of an antelope for awhile, then stretched out and slept on this tree branch keeping a watchful eye on the surroundings.

About The Photographer

I'm just an amateur photographer that has always loved taking photos. Prior to our first trip with Nat Hab, which was an African safari, I bought my first "good" camera which was an "advance point and shoot". I thought I'd need a HUGE zoom lens to photograph the animals from a distance. I had no idea I'd be so close to the lions, elephants, zebras, etc. I've upgraded my camera since then, but it's still considered an "advance point and shoot". I love taking photos during our trips so when I look back at the pictures, it quickly takes me back to a wonderful experience. I don't have any formal training as a photographer but have received many helpful tips from various Nat Hab guides and several of Court's webinars.
