Leokill II When the Matira crew watched a crossing of the wildebeests these days, the wildebeests (as posted in the video on FB on 22.11.'16) suddenly jumped back into panic and broke the river crossing. After a close look was clear why: A leopard had kept the herd out and torn after a spectacular fight one of the animals. Next weekend we will post another picture, showing the attack of the predator in a breathtaking shot.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author

This will probably rank as one of the most amazing kills in Pilanesberg National Park's history. Acacia male, who is roughly 2 years old, managed to pull down a massive, fully grown female Kudu right next to the road! Heart racing stuff! Acacia had a perfect stranglehold on the Kudu's neck and she was lifeless after a minute. She didn't make a sound. After a LOT of failed attempts of pulling the much too heavy carcass away into the thickets, Acacia decided to start feeding right there and then. He only managed to eat a fistfull of meat from the rump of the Kudu before he stood up and walked away. Later in the afternoon he returned, and much to the surprise of many day visitors, he pulled an unborn calf out of the Kudu and dragged it away to feed on it in peace. The following morning on our return to the carcass, we found another leopard, Bokete male, feeding on it. We stayed with him until he had his fill and walked off. The afternoon when we returned we found Bokete on the carcass again for a couple of minutes before he crossed the road in front of us. A pride of 12 Lions as well as some Brown Hyenas and Black Backed jackals finished what was left of the carcass that evening. By the following morning we could only see the Kudu's tail in the distance. After about 30 minutes of looking at all the tracks in the area, we also managed to find Acacia again as he popped out from the thickets!!! He also seemed quite surprised / confused that the carcass was gone! An exhilarating couple of days and we managed to get some INCREDIBLE footage of it all Photographed on Ntswe Drive on Thursday 17 and Friday 18 November 2016.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author

Safari Diary - 14 September 2015 Photo Tour, Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya The Maasai Mara is an incredible place for wildlife photography where sighting that would usually be a highlight of a day or even a whole safari often gets little or no attention simply because there are so many other exciting wild things happening. This morning we photographed hyenas on a kill with the rising sun behind them. Then it was off to the Mara river for a wildebeest crossing, followed by two male lions walking through the grass in golden light. Elephants on the plains concluded our early morning’s photography before a picnic breakfast was served to our happy photography clients. After lunch and rest time at the camp we embarked on our afternoon drive where we were treated to the perfect visual of a leopard kill. A leopard called Bhati wasted no time as she stalked and then pounced on a male impala right in front of our eyes. The shutters were firing fiercely, but photographs aside, everyone felt privileged to have witnessed this moment which is so rare to see.
