For our final drive, our plan was to find lions. Luckily for us we had lion tracks and after intense tracking by our ranger and another vehicle, we eventually found them (Kambula Breakaway Pride) resting in the Kapen River. They were moving about and as our clients were flying out today we unfortunately had to leave them.

On our way back to camp we found one cub of the Kapen female leopard resting on a large boulder and, to end off, we had our tenth different leopard individual (Matumi male) up a tree overlooking the Sand River and West Street Bridge.

An incredible way to end off what was truly a memorable safari filled with unforgettable sightings and special moments.

Day 4 – AM & PM safari highlights with Shaheen Patel

This morning we headed into a different part of the reserve and while driving around we found another leopard (Flat Rock male). He was next to the road, fast asleep.

We let him be and not too far from him we saw a buffalo bull cooling down in the Manyeleti River. When we returned to the leopard he was deeper in the bush still fast asleep.

We then entered a sighting of 2 leopards (Piccadilly female and cub). The 2 of them were in a playful mood and once mum had had enough of playtime, she chased off her cub and moved a short distance away before going to rest. The cub also went to sleep a fair distance away from mum.

Our next highlight came while we were having a surprise bush breakfast for our clients, when an elephant herd came down to drink from across the river.

Our afternoon started off with rhinos, buffalos, an elephant herd and a large crocodile seen from West Street Bridge before we entered another leopard sighting. The leopard (Stone Drift female) was waking up and, once mobile she came extremely close to catching an impala. After missing the impala, she gave chase to a scrub hare and also missed. As she was actively hunting in the dark we let her be and headed back to camp.

Our morning started off with a juvenile Giant Eagle Owl calling, while its mum responded from close by. On our way to a hyena den site we came across 2 rhinos sleeping on the road. When we got to the den site only one hyena was milling about but there were no signs of the cubs or any other members.

We left the area and found the 2 cubs of the Kapen female leopard. They were playing and stalking each other and eventually we let them be.

Our next highlight was a pair of black backed jackals on the airstrip on the way to camp.

For our afternoon safari, we headed to the north-eastern parts of our traverse to try and find cheetah. We didn’t have any luck with cheetah but instead found a male lion (Nkuhuma male). At first, he was asleep but as it cooled down he woke up and was on the move for a little while before going back to sleep.

Day 2 – PM safari highlights with Shaheen Patel

Our afternoon safari started off with a huge crash of rhinos feeding along with an elephant bull in close proximity. While sitting with them we heard lions roaring a short distance away and not long after the lions were found by another vehicle.

We made our way to the lions (Gijima male & Ntsevu female). The lioness was flat out and the male lifted his head every now and again.

Our final highlight for the evening was a leopard (Nkoveni female) who was not too far away from the lions. She was intently stalking something and after a while she moved into a thicket and went to sleep.

Day 2 – AM safari highlights with Shaheen Patel

This morning we set out and, while following leopard tracks we found a young leopard (Shingi male). He was moving about and began to playfully stalk a wildebeest. When he got really close, the wildebeest saw him and ran off. During our time with him we had a few walk-bys and he also tried to hunt birds. Once he began to settle down we moved on.

Our next highlight was a crash of rhinos feeding right next to our vehicle, followed by a herd of elephants with very young calves.

We made our way across the Sand River and entered a sighting of 3 leopards (Kapen female and 2 cubs). They were in a very playful mood, running up and down trees and stalking each other. Eventually mum left them and went in the opposite direction. In the distance, we saw 3 wild dogs making their way towards the leopard cubs. The cubs had also seen them and once the wild dogs got closer, the leopard cubs made their way up trees. Mum heard the commotion, ran in, and tried to chase off the wild dogs. Eventually the 3 leopards were up 3 different trees and the wild dogs moved off.

We followed the wild dogs as they tried to hunt impala a few times but were unsuccessful and once they moved into a thick block of land we made our way back to camp.

Day 1 – PM safari highlights with Shaheen Patel

With first-time safari goers we set out and spent a good amount of time with giraffes, zebras, and elephants before entering a lion (Ntsevu Pride) sighting. The lions were resting in the long grass and every now and then they’d reposition themselves.

We left the lions and while making our way to a leopard sighting, another leopard was spotted close to where we were. The leopard (cub of the Piccadilly female) was focused on a herd of impala. We patiently waited, and as the impala got closer to her, she waited for the opportune moment before launching and successfully killing an impala. Getting to witness a 14-month-old leopard make her first large kill was something that left us in awe and, needless to say, was an unforgettable experience for our clients. Once the leopard dragged the impala into the thick bushes, we left the scene and went back to the lions.

The lions didn’t move much from where they initially were and once it got dark we let them be and headed back to camp, ending an unbelievable first safari.
