SANParks will give it another night before concluding that the leopard has certainly left the camp. We still request tourists to be vigilant and to report any sightings.

PICS | Kruger Park visitors warned following leopard sightings close to camp

A male adult leopard was seen outside the fence and circling the Berg en Dal camp as if stalking something on Thursday and Friday morning.

Staff members and guests staying at Berg en Dal Rest Camp in the Kruger National Park (KNP) have experienced close contact with leopards for the past few days; there have also been random sightings of the predators close to other camps in the southern part of the park.

Park management said in a statement it would like to advise guests to be cautious while walking around the camps in the park to limit the risk of a possible confrontation with the animals or injury.

"A young leopard at Berg en Dal is alleged to have killed a bushbuck on Wednesday night near the Camping site; rangers were out at the first light yesterday to flush it out but found no trace of the cat. A male adult leopard was seen outside the fence and circling the same camp as if stalking something on Thursday and Friday morning.

"We also received a report from a tourist via social media that a frantic looking female leopard was seen up a tree on S110 gravel road; he later saw a young leopard running towards Berg en Dal as if being chased away,” said general manager of communications and marketing, Isaac Phaahla.

Phaahla further explained that there was a possibility the leopard sightings were linked because all leopards are highly territorial, and these animals could be fighting for territory.
