Just returned from an amazing albeit short trip to the Sabi-Sands Game Reserve and the Kruger National Park. I am still working through images from last September but couldn't resist preparing two from this trip for upload.
This leopard female is called "Mambiri" and her cub "Mantwane". They are both gorgeous and gave us quite the show. The first night of our visit we saw them feeding on a fresh kill but it was in a thicket so dense you could barely make out the movement.
On our final morning in the "Sands", they made up for it though! We followed them around for more than an hour, and mostly we were the only safari vehicle left since the other vehicles from other lodges had their "lists ticked" and moved on. We got to enjoy these 2 immensely all on our own.
I can highly recommend the facilities, staff and game rangers at Leopard Hills if anyone is inbound to South Africa sometime.
All comments welcome!
