So we found the same leopard on the same day, but at different times. I checked my picture time stamps and we left the sighting at around 6:50am
You obviously had a gang so couldn't get to the prime photographic spot
This leopard is called "Dunlop" because he likes to bite car tyres. His hang out spots are the H3/H1-1/S112.
The leopard we got on Lubyelubye rocks is known as the "Jackalberry male" because of a particular tree he likes to sleep in 7km from Lower Sabie
Etc

That's what I call a serious leopard sighting....finally
RP, your leopard does not look as if it is in the same tree if BC has not removed all the twigs and small branches in front of the leopard
Yes, a good sighting, but for me personally the cub around the car and the 2 surprise leopard on the evening of the 3rd were the best of the trip to experience
Same leopard, but RP was in a bad spot

And more leopard luck, Bushcraft,
love the shots from the one with the missing end of his tail - What fantastic shots
On top a great number of birds although I must say that 12 degrees is indeed extreme cold

but you had a another nice cheetah sighting as well
