Another sighting from Lower Sabie Perimeter tent:

What is the perfect accompaniment to morning coffee that will awaken all one's senses within minutes?

I ALWAYS say to SO when at LS tents - "All I need to make this a more perfect morning is a leopard to appear." It's kind of a joke for us, as it seemed something pretty farfetched... not anymore :-0 :-0

I only got this one single shot, and every monkey and impala within earshot were alerting everyone else to its presence - what an eye-opener that we certainly weren't expecting. Wide awake, we just stared at each other, bug-eyed :shock:

The next entry from our LS tent is one I posed before of the crocodiles feasting on the hippo (drought-stressed) carcass. Just a head's up in case you've already seen them. \O

The 2016 drought wrecked havoc on the hippos due to decreased feeding resources. These pics were taken from our veranda/porch at Lower Sabie.

The following shows the classic roll maneuver… I was surprised to see it used on dry land, but I suppose with a tough hide it becomes necessary. -O-

Another feeding session :shock: As desperate as it was, it still must have been fascinating to watch the crocs taking care of the carcass!

And leopard... that, of course, is just amazing in Kruger O:V
