Leopards and Wild Dogs

By Jacques on September 6, 2010

Two great mornings!

We found an Imphala kill up a tree one morning. There was no Leopard on the kill so we decided to come back later the morning. When we got back there was a male Leopard on the kill but he jump off as soon as we stoped. We thought that was that but a minute later this female Leopard went up and started feeding. We were very surprised and very happy.

The following morning we were on the hunt for Wild Dogs. We were on our way to the southern part off the park when we found the Wild Dogs. They were close to the lodge and we were very exited too find they had killed a Blue Wildebeest in the early morning hours. They were almost finished feeding. Out off the bush lurked an Hyena. He came in to try and steel what was left off the kill. The Dogs chased him off the first time, but perseverance paid off when he came back and ran off with the left overs.

  1. Hello Jacques! Greetings from Canada! We loved both these morning sightings! We were amazed and so excited to see the leopard up the tree with the impala on our very first early morning safari! The wild dogs with wildebeest and hyena drama the 2nd morning was unexpected and surprising! We absolutely enjoyed all our safari adventures with you and Victor as our reliable and extraordinary ranger and tracker team! Thank you so very much for all the wonderful memories! Sincerely,The Chan family.
