“Is she there? Can you make her out?” Our guide whispered to me in the darkness of the morning. It was too dark to see through binoculars, but I set my camera to a long-exposure image - after a full minute, we could make out her form on the branch. Perfect. Now we would wait until the sunlight began to filter through the trees, illuminating her spotted coat with rays of light. We had tracked Nalangu the night before, long after the other safari-goers had left. This morning, we stayed for more than two hours with her before the next car arrived to snap a quick photograph and be on their way. She continued to sleep. Only after a few more cars came and the noise level increased, she awoke from her slumber, lifted her head, and made eye-contact — with me alone — as if to say, thank you for being so quiet and considerate, thank you for spending the morning with her in peace. These are the moments that come only from patience, from the unhurried moments when the animal leads the moment.
