What would Africa be without its distinguished big cats? As a true highlight of every safari, they not only captivate visitors from all over the world but also the participants of our Africa’s Photographer of the Year (APOTY) competition. Having captured the majesty of our phenomenal felines so well, we thought we should share some of the best entries from our active category “Roaring Lions & Big Cats”. So, without further ado…
