Thanks for the hint where to the those barn owls at LS - Will for sure look out for them next February
The S139 is always an amazing road even when same is quiet
Lovely lion and jackal sightings on your way out of the park and also love your birdies
For sure it was an incredible number of leopards you saw during your stay
for a more than wonderful report

Thanks for sharing another amazing Brown adventure!
Can you give me some clues where to find leopard around Lower Sabie and Satara?
Going in Jan with my brother who hasn't been to Kruger in over 30 years, and would love to be able to find some spots for him!

Another amazing report BC.
You make us all feel bad with all your cat sightings
But i will still stick to the northern part thank you
I can't handle these roadblocks and rude people. It spoils my holiday and create a very bad mood inside the car.....
This was a good trip Alf, some days are still a battle for cat sightings.
Ja, the crowds in the south and the attitudes of some who visit the south is a problem for me also
With only a short duration in the park we prefer to maximise the chances in areas that produce more sighting of what we want to see, however I see there are many more leopard sightings popping up in the north lately.

Those barn owls have been there for a fair length of time now and seem to be locals, so you should be lucky
The S139, one just never knows
and we normally feel alone while on it which is cool.

Any road leaving Lower Sabie, even the H10 at the moment, is producing leopard Flutts
The only month I haven't visited now is January
but I find the H4-1 very quiet from February to May, January may be ok still. Last year January the H1-3 was cooking and the S147 when up in the Satara area is producing leopard every day at the moment.
We follow the sighting groups for at least 2 weeks before each trip, mark leopard sightings each day on a map and then follow the maps
Well, mostly follow them
Have you gone through the "leopards of knp" facebook site - the album section is worth a look, we found at least 3 of these "identified" leopards this trip.
Once done with the "research" timing is the main thing left and that's mostly luck
