From a leopard tortoise to the real thing!

This is the beauty about living in the bush! No one safari is ever the same. We started out with some White Backed Vultures and the eye of a Nile crocodile. He didn’t want to show himself. Moving along, we saw Wildebeest Jackal and Impala. A big Male Kudu and a Yellow billed Kite. Got some great shots of Giraffe with the mountain in the background and we also saw Zebras.

We stopped and picked up a Chameleon to show our guests as he was crossing the road. And a Leopard tortoise. 🙂

We were actually in search of the lions but they were eluding us. We stopped by Big Dam for sundowners when Uyai and Hendrick heard the leopard calling. Not even two minutes later the Lion was calling. What a decision to make!! Uyai eventually made the call and decided to go for the Leopard. And not 8 minutes into tracking. Stopping. Listening. There he was!!!!!!!!!!!! Our guests were so excited! We got some amazing photos from our Guest Clifford Barber as Uyai had to hold the spotlight and take pics. Many thanks to Clifford to let us share his outstanding footage of this stunning sighting. Very, very cool.
