The elusive Genet

Whilst we often see Genet on evening game drives, these nocturnal mammals are very difficult to photograph as they are constantly on the move and in low light , or simply held in a spot light for a second they are a real challenge. I never use flash as I feel it breaks the magic of the darkness and I worry it might upset the animals we are watching, relying on the softer light of the spotters torch instead.

This little poser was totally different though, sitting patiently whilst we all snapped away.
