LEOPARD SUFFOCATES IMPALA

On a gorgeous afternoon in Sabi Sand Game Reserve, we came upon a female leopard stalking a lone male Impala. The take down was clinical. A sudden jolt from the leopard crouched in the tall grass brought the helpless Impala down to the ground. What followed was the breathtaking suffocation and kill, caught in the afternoon sunlight.

TESTOSTERONE

We didn’t know what we were going to look for because my guests had seen everything already. It was one of my guests last morning and they said let’s just see what’s out there. Not long into the drive - it was only ten minutes and we found three of the four dominant male lions lying in the middle of the road. We watched them for a while...

A ONCE IN TEN LIFETIMES SIGHTING!

So this is a big, big one! It was an afternoon drive. My tracker and I decided to go look for the Ottawa Pride which consists of three lionesses. On the way to where they were left that morning we found the tracks going north-east. It did not take us long before we found them lying up under some magic guarris about a kilometer from where they had been...

GREEN SANDPIPER IN THE SANDS

Driving down the Sand River looking for leopard, we stopped at a little clearing where I had a nice view up and down the river. This year we have had some really good numbers of waders coming through early in the season and I always like to have a good look at them in case something a little more uncommon makes an appearance. I saw some Common...

WILL THEY RETURN?

This morning we decided to do a drive to the southern part of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve in search of a buffalo herd. It's been very hot during the past few days and this morning the weather became overcast and a little bit windy. So it was one of those quiet morning game drives. Then the exciting news came in over the radio: ''The Mapogo males have...

ONE OF MY BEST MORNING DRIVES

The plan for this morning was to find some breeding herds of buffalo that had been seen early this morning. We found them in the open grassland all lying down and chewing the curd. There were about 200 to 300 buffaloes. As we were leaving the sighting we spotted a journey of giraffe in the distance, walking slowly towards us. We viewed them for a while....

MALE LEOPARD ON A DUIKER KILL

We were fortunate enough to find a young male leopard (the Taj Dam male) north of the reserve. He was following the scent of an animal but we couldn't be sure what it was. We watched as he stopped and then looked in the direction of a termite mound.Minutes later we noticed a young duiker running. The Tai Dam male proceeded to chase it. He caught the...

LIONS CHASE A MALE LEOPARD UP A TREE

We were following up on a male leopard which was reported to have been seen with a kill earlier in the morning. We found it lying on top of a termite mound under a big jackal tree next to the Mabrak River. We then noticed that the bush buck carcass was hoisted up in the tree and the owner was just lying at the bottom. Not far from there was 4 male...
