Lurking in the Shadows - Welgevonden Reserve, South Africa

If you want to come home from Africa with excellent photographs, one of the most important things you will need is access to top notch Rangers. A good Ranger will be able to track and find wildlife and get you in position to get the shot. I have only been on two safaris but there can’t be many better than the Rangers at Nedile Lodge. They constantly were the first Rangers (of many) to find wildlife. That is important as they get into position themselves first to get you the right angle for the shot. Our Rangers not only found them but also knew how to anticipate where to go when the wildlife went on the move. This cheetah was lurking in that shadows and they guessed correctly where it would end up giving us a straight on shot of it.
