Spring has sprung!

In celebration of September 1st: Spring Day, we've selected a collection of adorable baby leopard cubs.

Leopards from Ingwe Bush Camp.

Our contributing photographer is Marc Cronje. 

Marc is a free lance guide in Kruger. He was brought up stains conservation and wildlife. His Dad worked in the JHB Zoo for 25 years it was there that Marc's passion for animals was born. 

His family moved to Nelspruit to run the Jane Goodall Institute, Chimp Eden. (It's a sanctuary for rescued chimpanzees from the illegal bush meat trade in central Africa.) He worked there for 7 years is  about to finish a degree in nature conservation.

We hope you enjoy some of his November 2014 collection from Ingwe Bush Camp.
