RE: Leopards of Sabi Sands - Spalea - 05-30-2020
Marlon du Toit: " I think this might be the first time that I share this image here on Instagram. I took this in February of 2013, & it’s of 2 very special leopards.
The one standing is mom, the Ravenscourt Female, as she was known. It’s the leopard I’ve spent most time with during my @singita_ guiding days. She was special, almost unique.
Her son (and also last cub) is seen next to her. He’s still around & known as the Ravenscourt Male, occupying the western sections of the #sabisands.
I was out on my own on a cool summers morning. It rained ever so gently & the light was real rich, pretty light. I spent the whole morning with the 2 of them. Instead of staying in camp when I had no guests, I’d always go out on drive. My tracker did not like that much because I’d bring back a dusty or muddy car for him to clean, haha, but I sure did enjoy it.
I cherish these memories and I am so happy photography was a big part of my life back then.
The Sabi Sands is a great safari experience, one of the very best! Send me a DM if you’d love details of how to join me there in May 2021. "

Ravenscourt surely knows how to strike a pose. It is always a pleasure finding him on the move through his vast territory.

The Ravenscourt male leopard walking along the sand river. With more young male leopards pushing into his territory, he's got alot of work ahead of him to keep them out and his developing cubs safe.

Three of the dominant females on the property currently have cubs and have been bringing them out of their dens to feed. Schotia and her two male cubs are seen regularly – and often on our live Virtual Game Drives on Facebook and Instagram – as well as the Hukumuri and Mobeni females with three cubs between them.

One of the good things about lockdown is the time that I’ve had to refurbish some oldies. This leopard/warthog interaction goes back to the days when I was working at MalaMala Game Reserve in the 90s. It took this young male ages to kill the warthog and it was stolen by a pride of lions almost immediately that he had killed the warthog. The squealing from the warthog could be heard from a long way off so it was inevitable that lions and hyenas would be attracted to the area.
