Leopard coming down tree
28 December 2014 driving along Kgama Drive looking for Rain (female cheetah),I receive news of a leopard seen in a tree on Thlutwa Drive. I decided to take my chance and take the drive to the north of the Park,hoping the leopard will stick around. I was delighted to find the leopard still in the tree once I arrived, but disappointed at the same time - 20 odd cars at the sighting means no way of getting close for a better view. Little did I know this was a blessing in disguise......20 minutes later this leopard decided to come down the tree. Right in line with my door about 15m away, there is a broken tree branch,can it be? YES! The leopard walks up to the branch,jumps to the top and walks to the bottom. I am blessed with an awesome sighting and managed to get this photo that I will treasure for always!
