Joseph's First Coup

Within ten minutes of leaving the park entrance, Joseph pulled off the first of his many coups. We were still all excited about the zebras when Joseph stopped the Land Rover and pointed at some trees. It took us a few minutes to spot--it was a leopard having a lazy day in a tree! At the time, we didn’t fully appreciate Joseph’s game finding skills, but we soon learned, by talking to other guests, that finding a leopard is actually quite rare. Some people who have been to Africa several times have never seen one! And our fellow guests subsequently were unable to find this one, even though we told them where we saw it.
