My friend Miguel Bellosta took this extraordinary collection of photos during two trips to Zakouma National Park in Chad, one during the dry season (April 2003) and another at the beginning of the rains (May-June 2005).

He spent many hours waiting in hides at waterholes and other key spots, always assisted by the park's rangers. His patience and skill were rewarded with stunning images of such difficult animals to see, let alone photograph, as Cheetah and Pangolin.

Miguel also provided invaluable information and tips for my 2006 trip, which greatly helped to its success.
