Beautiful

They really are so elusive. I have only seen once in Kruger and my hands were shaking so much I hardly got a picture.

They're not easily seen in KNP, Ashbash, so if you do, count yourself very lucky. There are too many large cats around which keep the smaller ones more elusive. In WCNP, for example, they have less competition, hence are more apt to display themselves prominently. Good luck!

Have only had a (10 second) glimpse of caracal once, so high on my wish list as well :pray:

Lucky you, anne-marie, to have such a stellar sighting all to yourself
