Sabi Sabi had just opened Little Bush Camp in 2005 when a leopard cub was born on the lodge grounds. When she was old enough to be named (as is practice for research purposes for an in-depth study and knowledge of family lineages), it was only fitting that she be named after the area where she was born.

The Little Bush female leopard was a force to be reckoned with and in her time, successfully raised some cubs to independence. Having died in 2018, her legacy lives on in her offspring, Kigelia and Ntsumi, who are now also successful mothers. Kigelia and Ntsumi are regularly seen at Sabi Sabi as female leopards often take up territory adjacent to that of their mother.

These two now have cubs of their own and have raised them to live independently, which is a wonderful legacy from their mom. Kigelia’s cubs have been named Jacana and Tsutsuma, and Ntsumi’s oldest daughter is Golonyi, who we see regularly.

At Sabi Sabi we celebrate generations within our own family too, and we are fortunate to have many siblings, cousins and multi-generational staff, working at all our four lodges. This privilege allows us to cater for families with empathy and to allow them to reconnect in the place they call their “luxury home in the bush”.

Does anyone know the name of the 2nd leopard other than Piva that the Southern Avoca males killed? 

I don't remember its name, but I remember it was an old leopard..
