Leopards of Sabi Sands

[Ngala]

From Londolozi Game Reserve, The Week in Pictures #232 by Sean Cresswell
"This mega male leopard even looks heavier and more sturdy than most. The Anderson male patrols the Manyalethi riverbanks on the trail of the Nanga female."

"Perspective illustrating size; although beyond the Nanga female and slightly out of focus, the Anderson male’s exceptional size becomes evident. The two spent just the one day mating before he left the property and returned into the heart of his expanding territory."

"A superb opportunity as the Nhlanguleni female rests and yawns on this fallen Marula trunk. The somewhat secretive female often disappears very quickly, as she did shortly after this moment."

"The Nkoveni female atop a termite mound produced a beautifully clean and dark backdrop of night sky. Gently lighting her from the front illuminated her so well against the black of night."

"Golden light warms this incredible scene as the Inyathini male and his notched ear steals a moment amongst radiant vegetation and a tunnel of glow."

From Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve:
"We got to see the rare sight of leopards mating last night while driving in the southern reaches of the reserve. The very large Mandleve male was mating with an unknown female, the same young female we have been seeing in that area over the last few weeks."

From Inyati Game Lodge:
"One has to spend time with an animal to lure him out of the shadows, earn his trusts and he will allow you a glimpse into his world. Come share a glimpse into Dewanes' world at Inyati Game Lodge"
