Returning from Olifants we found a male leopard in the same spot. He seemed to be tracking the other 2, calling now and then. Stalked warthog, marked a spot went into one way, causing traffic jam. Exciting sighting!”

This morning we saw a leopard and cub.

This loop was created because of the demolition of Ngotso dam.
The 2015/2016 drought created ideal conditions to breach the Ngotso earthen dam in the Satara section as part of adaptive management of artificial water points in the park. Because the Ngotso dam is so popular with tourists for game viewing, an additional 22 km one-way gravel loop road was constructed in the central region of the park. The road meanders along the Ngotso River which has springs that sustain numerous pools through the dry months. These attract wildlife in large numbers, providing more natural game spotting opportunities than a man- made dam that dries up during the winter months.
