Think that was night the honey badger disappeared, he had visited us every night until that night. After a sight like that he probably thought he would be better off taking his chances outside fence.

Who would not be scared to death, raise your hand

Sprocky had kindly let us know that there was a"big" leopard cruising around the Sable Dam road.


It was quite easy to find in the desert there...but at first a thought it was a dark lioness?

I have really never seen a leopard this big!

It really ignored everything around with contemptuous disdain...even these animals...

Another monster!

The north was very dry indeed in large areas...this is another sign, as these steenbok are not seen drinking often at all!

As you can see, it is blindingly barren and hot, and Frewells drove the Samoosa over a little cliff by mistake...it survived impressively!

Undeterred by Frewells and the leopard, the ellie mini-breeding-herd arrived...

Quite a pretty scene!

Richprins started getting a bit artistic, as he was happy to have finally managed to open one of the teas, and had also seen a leopard so early in the trip!

[Flutterby]

Not bad RP!

[Lisbeth]

Nice leopard and also the ellies, but it is escapes me what is arty about them

[Bushcraft]

Wow, you guys had some awesome sightings up north

[Mel]

What a leopard!
