Lisbeth: How and why the leopard balanced on that small branch is anybody's guess lol

29th August 2020

We spent the morning in Marloth park checking out the local game and exploring the surroundings and entered the park at about 09h30 and took the S25 /S108 / H5 loop.

We found this small tusker

For the afternoon drive we went back to the H5 looking for the lions but they had moved – we found them just off the H4-2 on a small loop.

They were not going anywhere so we took a drive up towards Lower Sabie.

It was one of those grey cloudy days and nothing much was moving about, so we turned back and went to spend the rest of the afternoon with the lions
