The elusive Leopard

Peter has been to South Africa 5 times and I have been 3 times and this is the first time that we have seen the elusive Leopard.

 

We were driving through Kruger on our way to meet up with my Flickr friend Piet when we came across a car parked in the middle of the road. When we edged around the side of the car I saw a spotted tail and realised it was a Leopard. It sat there for quite a while staring into the undergrowth and I realised that it was stalking some Impala. It went to the side of the road and the Impala became nervous, so it sat up still watching intently. We didn't have time to wait to see if it continued to stalk the Impala as it was a long drive to Satara Rest Camp.
