"The Mashaba female leopard descends from a sausage tree as the light began to fade. The dark backdrop she is framed against shows up how incredibly long a leopard’s vibrissae or whiskers are."

"After robbing the Nkoveni female leopard of her bushbuck kill, the 4:4 male leopard descends from a leadwood tree and moves off to stash the carcass in the adjacent thick undergrowth."

"On a separate occasion to the previous sighting, the Tamboti female leopard walks through an open clearing allowing us this beautiful unobstructed view of her."

"Definitely one of the most exciting sightings from the week came when we heard reports of the Xidulu female and her young cubs on Londolozi. We hadn’t seen these cubs before and were treated to a spectacle and a memorable sighting."
