This is another view of the first leopard we saw in Motswari.
We had an excellant day in the park today - 4 leopard sightings.I will have to add photos later.
Aside from Wild Dogs, the one species I was most hoping to see was the Leopard. In the end, we actually saw seven different animals - I would have been over the moon with just one!
Here's a couple of images from two individuals, taken in Erindi and Okonjima game reserves...
One early rainy morning we spotted this young male leopard sitting out near the road not far from camp! He was sitting in some bushes and just sat there and stared at us! I love this capture with his tongue out and I think it shows his youth! This photo was taken in the Olare motorogi conservancy in Kenya!
The fourth area we visited on our African trip last October, 2015 was Sabi Sand Londolozi, South Africa. This is the area known for leopards and it did not disappoint. This was our first drive after arriving there and the leopard was sitting with a kill. This hyena came along and was trying to steal it. It sat close to our vehicle and was just waiting for a chance to get the leopard's meal. But she took her kill up into the tree, which was not easy because it was heavy and she was pregnant. By this time it was getting dark.
Many thanks for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.
(Panthera pardus pardus) B28I9726 Shawu - Kruger NP - South Africa
This leopard was very busy raising its prey to the top of the tree to protect it from lusts. It took us half an hour to approach him, step by step, to give him confidence. With his gaze, he ensured our benevolence. On the other hand, another vehicle arrived noisily and without respect and it fled.
Ce léopard était très occupé à remonter sa proie au sommet de l'arbre pour la mettre à l'abri des convoitises. Nous avons mis une demi heure à l'approcher, étape par étape pour le mettre en confiance. Avec son regard, il s'est assuré de notre bienveillance. Par contre, un autre véhicule est arrivé bruyamment, sans respect et il s'est enfui.
Leopard (Phalanta phalantha) (මහ දිවිපුල්ලියා) is a medium-sized butterfly with a wingspan of 50–55 mm with a tawny colour and marked with black spots. The underside of the butterfly is more glossy than the upper and both the male and female are similar looking. A migratory butterfly and is found all over Sri Lanka, belongs to Nymphalidae family.
Shot in Sabi Sands Game Reserve South Africa. Not really a fight, since Thandi on the right is the mother of Maribye on the left - unfortunately, he is becoming amorous, and she is advising him of the inappropriateness of that! Sony A9 FE 70-200 at 70mm f3.5 edited in Silver Efex Pro.
In het Sabi Sands ook wel de bakermat van alle safari's genoemd hebben we deze prachtige luipaarden mogen bewonderen. Schitterend om ze van zo dichtbij te mogen fotograferen.
The photo was taken in Kruger NP, at approx. 120 meters distance. Had spotted some very vigilant empals who were all looking in the same direction. Thought something might happen soon when a leopard and a hyena suddenly appeared
Taken at Southlakes Zoo in Cumbria recently. We managed to visit on a free entry day. Suppose we should have known why,because the day after the zoo lost it's animal licence and had to close temporarily. Conditions at the zoo were not good.

We could spot this huge guy at Grootkolk Wilderness Camp in Kgalagadi. While we observe a brown hyena drinking at the waterhole, this guy come rushing up and chased the hyena away. A really good start on my birthday !
The leopard is a male called Kham and was first seen in 2011!

When we're driving over the Biyamiti Bridge we shout out simultaneously there is a leopard in the riverbed. WhileThomas saw the leopard mother, I spotted the cub. The cub ran over the hill, the mother still stayed in the riverbed. This pictures are a serie, when the mother starts to call her cub until there reunion. What a great experience!

Namibia Leopard differ from cheetah by its stockier and more powerful appearance, bigger head and muscular body. The expression in their eyes is baleful and catlike whereas the cheetah’s eyes seem gentler.
Uncommonly seen due to their secretive nocturnal habits, they are solitary but can be seen in pairs when mating or in small groups consisting of a mother and her offsprings.
Tangala Lodge - Thornybush Reserve South Africa -2014
Whenever we go to Africa we do not have much luck with Leopards, so I was very surprised to find this one in amongst the thousands of images that have not been published.
We arrived at Motswari Private Game Reserve at 2.30 in the afternoon and were settled into our cabin. We were told to be back at the office at 3.30 if we wanted to go on the afternoon safari and of course we decided to go. An amazing experience and after only being on the safari truck for around 45 minutes we saw this beautiful leopard stalking some Impala.
