So the cat and mouse game began! A great test of our tracking skills. When we arrived at the last seen spot of the male Leopard, we looked for any signs he left behind in order to get a direction of movement. We found some tracks moving in a westerly direction. Unfortunately for us...

While we were driving around, the sun slowly started it's decent, signally the time to enjoy a delicious sundowner and snacks. Before we picked our spot for the sundown stop, I decided to make a quick turn around a waterhole close by. When we arrived, an amazing surprise was waiting for us.

We had been tracking two leopards, but their elusive nature resulted in no success. I decided to have one last drive past the nearby dam, Rooi Dam. As I came around the last bend, we heard an interesting commotion!

An expert birder was not needed to identify the call, as everyone immediately knew what it was. I Deciding to drive further along the river. On an old dead tree next to the water there it was, posing perfectly on a branch busy scouting for its next meal.

High up on my guest’s bucket list of animals was of course lions. We had been searching for male lions as this was their dream sighting, but they were yet to reveal themselves. As it was my guests last morning, the pressure was on to try to make their African dream materialize.

All guests were invited to join the team in the afternoon before the sunset game drive for an environmental surprise. Not only did we want to reduce our electricity consumption during Earth Hour, but we also wanted to leave our ecological footprint...
