Sometimes you pop around a corner and come face to face with a leopard. That’s what happened on this occasion in the Olare Orok Conservancy, a private concession of the Masai Mara in Kenya. We had seen this female earlier in the day, but lost sight of her until she suddenly appeared just in front of our safari vehicle.
