The adrenalin from the morning leopard sighting started to fade as we neared Nkuhlu so we began paying attention again and stopped for some ellies having a morning drink.
Just after Nkuhlu we stopped again for lion warming up in the Sabie riverbed.
We got to the Golf Club just after 10am, so I thought it may be a little early for them, but they quickly put 2 large hot chips together and we cruised off to picnic at the nursery for a few hours. I found it fantastic just parking off in the peaceful environment, so it’s going to be part of all our future trips.
We left the nursery around 12:30pm for a slow trip down the H1-1/H3 towards the Biyamiti loop, but slowed next to a dry riverbed on the way and the Cow shouted “STOP, leopard!” which woke me up.
“He’s going to move, quick take pics!”
Another car suddenly stopped next to us and the driver chirped “lion!” which set me off “What? It’s a leopard!” which set the Cow off “Be polite!”
“Quiet, the leopard’s there, take pics”
The leopard slowly disappeared up the riverbed and we sat quietly for a few more seconds and I thought that my outburst had escaped detection, but then the “tone of your voice” greasing started but Hawkeyes interrupted with a pic of insects she had taken which distracted the Cow, so I quickly started up and continued on.
As we neared the Biyamiti weir we spotted a car parked at the view point above the weir and they all had their cameras out, so we crossed the weir and immediately identified what was causing the excitement.
To be continued
, however it was a mission to find a few of them and 1 day we never got 1 which is a crisis for me 
The lion, well, lion in the road, is where we battled more than normal at times. First time we have seen dogs at the weir. We have had them a few times just up the road on the S114, but never at the weir.
or I made a mistake... superb
