[Leica] The reason I missed... the correct linkx

Marc,
Lovely shot. Really majestic pose for a beautiful cat.

I do not know about Tanzania, but they are easy to see in the Mara,
they are not shy at all. They even bring their one month old cubs out
when surrounded by 20 or so vehicles:

In India they are very shy, and difficult to see and photograph,
except in a couple of national parks. This is more due to sharing a
range with tigers, who will not hesitate to kill them, rather than
distrust of humans. When I was in Valparai in July, I had three very
good sightings, but all late in the night when they were on the prowl
for prey. In this part of the world the place to see them is in Yala,
in Sri Lanka. If all goes well, I am off there in early December.

Cheers
Jayanand
