Kirkman's Kamp

Kirkman's Kamp, with its spectacular views of the unspoilt wilderness and the Sabi Sand River, is regarded as one of the best loved lodges in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve. A well known historic camp, originally built in the early 1920's Kirkmans Kamp celebrates the atmosphere of an early South African lowveld homestead.

Mating leopards

This morning we found our dominant male leopard, and even better, he was together with a female. After watching them for a while, the female got up and started growling, rubbing herself against the male, and seducing him, needles to say that he got up and mated with her. Now both leopards where growling. It was very itimidating to listen to the noise of the leopards.
