Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

My question is, is it possible to make entire map of leopards in Sabi Sabi??
I mean, some areas are quite well covered with reports such as northern Sabi Sands, western Sabi Sands, Londolozi and parts of MalaMala, but do we have enough info from southern parts (Kirkmans Camp, Lion Sands, Southern MalaMala) to do so??
Panthera makes maps but unfortunately they are only available to rangers or their friends. I managed to get my hands on an old version but not much should have changed. A few leopards have died and few more have become territorial

That's quite an informative map. Thanks for sharing. I'm surprised there were much more sightings of leopards than of lions who are more numerous. I suppose the rumour of Sabi Sands leopards being less elusive is true after all.
I think for the lions, prides and coalitions are grouped together, so a sighting of a whole pride would still be 1 lion sighting maybe?
