Welcome at lookingforcats.com
This site is dedicated to the big cats of Africa. Besides lots of cat photos, we also added pictures of other typical African animals. These are two of the best areas for wildlife in the world. We like to stress that all our pictures are from animals living in the wild.
Locations:
- Moremi Game Reserve and the Khwai Concessions area in the Okavango delta, Botswana
- Chobe National Park, Savuti and Mababe areas
- Central Kalahari Game Reserve
- Cape Cross Seal Reserve for the Cape Fur Seal pictures and video
- Namibia Damaraland and Kaokoland for the desert elephants and the landscape pictures

At Work
At work means taking pictures. Doesn’t feel like work at all, but sometimes sitting in a car looking for great photo opportunities sounds better than it is.
New
A selection of our latest photographs. The pictures are from our last trip to Botswana August/September 2026, visiting Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Moremi and Savuti.
Favorites
We have tens of thousands of wildlife pictures and making a selection is hard, but we tried.
A very special leopard
We had the opportunity and incredible luck to follow a leopard for most of her life. This is, in pictures, the story of a very special female leopard and most of her offspring.
Action
Taking action photos of wildlife isn’t easy. Different animals move in different ways and often very erratic. You must anticipate the action before it happens. Luckily technology helps a lot. Fast auto-focus systems combined with high frames rates, make it a lot easier.
Kills
Predators must eat too. Comes as no surprise, but in order to eat, as a predator, you must kill. From wildlife documentaries it may look like you will see it every day, but in fact to witness a kill is special. And quite violent. If you cannot stand seeing blood, better not view these pictures.
Family
Pictures of animals in family groups: packs, prides, herds and the like
The Young
Nothing nicer than taking pictures of kittens, cubs, calves and other young animals.
Portraits
Compared to action pictures, making portraits is a lot easier. More difficult is creating a portrait with an impact; a wow factor so to speak.
Moods
Sometimes what you want is not a straightforward animal or animal-in-landscape picture, but the aim is to catch a certain mood.
Marine Life
No, not fish, but seals and penguins. Pictures from the South African and Namibian coasts.
Landscapes
Yes, landscapes. No animals in them. Landscape pictures from our visits to Namibia. Botswana landscapes may come at some later stage, when we’re finished taking pictures of wildlife
Miscellaneous
Pictures that do not really fit well in the other categories
