Leopards of Sabi Sands

[Ngala]

From Chitwa Chitwa Private Game Lodge:
"Tsakani, Kwatile's young female cub has been wandering further and further away from her mother's territory. We have been seeing her regularly around one of the big dams west of Chitwa. When we found her this afternoon she was relaxing on a fallen knobthorn tree. The sun was setting behind her and added just that little more to make it seem even more special. The setting sun gave her coat a rosy colour which she seemed to be showing off as she turned this way and that way, grooming herself. When her grooming session was done, she got up and walked straight past the vehicle disappearing into the bush."

"The Mashaba female and cub share a puddle of water. Like the Mhangeni pride in the first photo, leopards can be particular about the water source they would prefer to drink out of." Photograph by James Souchon.

From Kirkman's Kamp Private Game Reserve, by Jarryd du Preez Wildlife Photography:
"Teardrop female had a Rollercoaster of a night.....
The Teardrop female was seen salivating due to some very unfortunate events. After making a Kill, the West street male arrived with the Flockfield female leopard and stole the kill. While the West Street male was feeding on the impala the two females got into a scrap, to which the Teardrop female came out on top. The Teardrop female then thought it be a good opportunity to try mate with the male. He was not so impressed and chased her off.
This morning we could hear two leopards mating but unfortunately couldn't find them.
With the Charleston Male Lions seen in the west this morning, guests have lots to look forward to."

From Ngala Private Game Reserve:
"The black dam youngster was playing hide and seek with us. He led us over and under a whole variety of obstacles and eventually lay to rest in this small dry river."
