Although not as well-known as Botswana's Moremi Game Reserve and Chobe National Park, the Tuli area comprises a diverse wilderness of savannah, riverine forests, marshland, open plains and rocky outrops. It is rich in wildlife, including large herds of elephant and predators such as lion, leopard, cheetah, jackal and hyena.

Camera: The photograph was taken with a Canon EOS 350D and Canon EOS 100-400mm IS zoom lens. Exposure: 1/250 sec at F5.6; ISO: 400; Lens focal length: 310mm.
