We are moving to Mata Mata.
The path is not long and I'm still hoping to find Cheetahs, so it can take a long time to cover the +/- 100km.
At dawn, as usual, I look at the waterhole …
. I go in a hurry take my camera. Liz hears me, I whisper "Leopard". 15 minutes…. 15 long minutes, time to drink and go back on our left side, in the dunes ... magical vision
drinking
comes to us
marking territory

She is beautiful, it is "Auchterlonie female", name given by Margie and Gus Mills when they started to deal with "Leopard & Cheetahs of the Kgalagadi" see LINK:
https://www.facebook.com/KgalagadiLeopa ... ialog .
They went back to England and Matthiew, Wanda, Mel took over and me to a lesser extent .... a question of language I think, or rather I hope
I had a lot of correspondence with Margie and I met her in the park. We follow them, note their movements, births and the first who saw babies gives them a name. I have already baptized some, the best known is Safran, the Leopardess and I'm not lucky to find her (she) for several years.

A leopard in the Kieliekrankie surroundings is something very special.
The Auchterlonie Female looks beautiful against the red sand
Hopefully she's still alive and well these days
I never knew that Gus and Margie also dabbled in the the leopards once.
Thanks for that info

It was a great sighting Luckily Nan called me! I was half-naked and freezing, but in a moment like that it is not that important
