It wasn’t long before she gracefully made her way down from the termite mound. The Leopard seemed to be quite interested in the movements of the Nyala, and she slowly made her way towards them. In her elegant stride, she stopped a few times and glared at us before continuing on with a steady pace. We followed her, eager to see what would happen.

He was struggling to not only push the ball, but also push it up a small hill. He would move his boulder about halfway up this hill, loose strength and then sadly roll back down into the road. I heard soft chatter from my guests with an occasionally Aww! each time it happened.

I had the urge to write about insects seen as though we recently had International insect week in June. Normally our blog stories focus on an experience we had in the bush, and this is by no means different. Still an awesome experience with loads of Wows! and wonder.

I turned around as quickly as I could and went to fetch my guests. They were incredibly excited, rushed off to get their cameras and jumped back onto the vehicle. When we got to the sighting and even though we knew what had happened, we couldn’t believe our eyes.

This was a great sign, as impala and other animals alike will give off an alarm call when they see a predator. I told my guests “brace yourselves folks”, we picked up our game drive speed…

My highlight this month has definitely been at one of the hyena dens on our concession. At the moment there are several hyena cubs active at the dens and have provided us with some spectacular sightings.
