Leopard Mating at Kirkman's Kamp

Nearing the end of a wonderful morning game drive, Steph & Japhet tracked & found a rhino! Whilst enjoying the sighting, to our delight, a male leopard wandered past! What became even more unbelievable was the female who emerged out of the undergrowth with him! Then, before our eyes...a mating! AND, not just once! We were privileged to watch them for nearly an hour as they wandered...mated, courted...mated, relaxed...mated - seemingly totally oblivious to our presence! The time flew as we, in awe and wonder, enjoyed our quiet time with the leopard, thanks to Steph & Japhet...and Kirkman's amazing wildlife!
