ABUNDANCE

It is not only leopards and lions that tickle us at Exeter, as we were spoiled for choice this morning. During the long haul down to the South of the reserve there is plenty of opportunity to see a cornucopia of different animals.

Whilst sitting with a small herd of elephants that were gracefully marching through a large clearing, we noticed a trio of playful Side-Striped Jackals cavorting in the short grass. The mother and her two youngsters ran and pounced on one another for a good fifteen minutes before retreating to a nearby fallen tree.

Other sightings for the morning included a massive herd of Buffalos, and once again a magnificent female leopard draped across the branches of a tall Marula tree.
