Insider's view We spent an evening watching an electric storm work its way across the valley, mesmerising! Also watching a female leopard stalking something and seemly oblivious to our vehicle while several gazelles broke cover and made hasty escapes was so exciting. It was just amazing to be that close to such beautiful creatures.
