From Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve:
"Leopard update:
Little Bush was aggressively scent marking yesterday evening as the sun began to set.
Maxabeni was seen having a drink before heading off on a patrol.
We found the Kigelia female, who was active in pursuing a herd of impala before they picked up on her. She then took the opportunity to climb a Marula tree for a little rest."

From Singita:
"An update on the Hlaba'Nkunzi female leopard with her young male cub. We have been fortunate to watch this leopard cub grow into his large paws and currently he is showing strong signs of becoming independent to his mother. As noted in the image below, the male is much larger than his mother at only a year and half."

This is another big male leopard present in Sabi Sands area (dominant male in Lion Sands). This is the brother of the Airstrip male, son of Bicycle Crossing male (also called Xihangelas). His name is Xovonikela, also known as Charleston/Xovo male.

"The Airstrip male has seen better days following his fight with the Kunyuma male- but the wounds do appear superficial."

Very nice pics, and frankly, nothing he isn't familiar with. The life of a lone warrior.

From Kirkman's Kamp Private Game Reserve:
"Kirkman's Kamp came into its own this morning with sightings, seemingly, around every corner.
There were four leopards found this crisp morning. The West Street male was seen scent marking near the lodge; Mambiri male and Ndzilo had a run in with eachother and the Msuthu female returned from KNP. The Charleston Male Lions were also seen on Lion Sands chasing hyenas and Matthew found two young male lions late in the morning in the Sand River. We didn't even have chance to check our KNP border for the Wild Dogs...
This photograph is of the West Street male. Taken by Messham Photography"
