Description: Luluka, the leopard princess and the tree of life

Story from behind the lens: We got the news of Luluka, one of the famous leopardess taking a nap on a tree. We rushed to find almost 20 vehicles lining up to get a glimpse of her. It was a pity to see Luluka choosing to stay on the tree, avoiding the commotion that was happening all around her. We moved away and waited patiently for almost 2 hours, for safari vehicles to move out. Sun was setting and we could see vehicles were starting to move back to their camps. We chose to remain far and not disturb Luluka, allowing her space to come down from the tree. Finally, she did come down and we could get this shot with the perfect formation of clouds behind the tree, the tree of life for such beautiful animals.
