The Nchila male leopard balances above his impala kill.
He subsequently lost his carcass to a rival male leopard - life is not easy as a nomadic leopard without a territory to call your own. ------------------ Credit and written to: Matt Fleischack Sabi Sand, Kirkman's Kamp,posted: 02/06/20  *This image is copyright of its original author
The son of the Teardrop female is fully independent, yet still spending most of his time within his mother’s territory.

" The young Kigelia female has done an exceptional job at flying low under the radar as she nurtures her cub with great success. However, we were lucky enough this morning to catch up with her and spend a little time enjoying her company as she warmed up in the morning sun. "
" Returning to the lodge from morning safari, we came across Maxabeni resting in the road after marking his territory not too far from Bush Lodge. "
" After lazing around in the road yesterday, we followed up on this male leopard and to our surprise, he had made a duiker kill which he hoisted high up in a Marula tree. "
" In her first Sabi Sabi blog, "Something I had dreamed of my whole life", Ruth shares a very special sighting with us... "
" Yesterday morning, we followed up on some tracks seen around Selati Camp. We were fortunate enough to find the young White Dam male leopard on the move and possibly looking for a meal. Because of the unseasonal rain we are receiving at the moment, he stuck to the road and didn't venture into any long grass. "
" Moving along familiar paths this old male leopard, bearing the scars of his years in charge, marks his territory. "
" Just as morning safari was coming to a close, we spotted Maxabeni on a territorial patrol. We followed up on him in the afternoon and he was still moving around, possibly looking for a meal. "
