Good news for the ROARERS.

Remember the two small leopard cubs most of us saw. One was brave and one was timid. These are the same two cubs that we saw here at Leopard Hills. So now we know they survived and are thriving. They are still the same personalities. While we were watching the mother the male cub came out in full view and the timid female cub stayed somewhat hidden. Of course they are quite large by now as it is 6 months later.

The rogue male lions that hit Singita and send the prides scattering are still here also. Tonight our Land Rover is going on the hunt for them and some of the other TUSK people have already seen them.

It is so nice to come back and remember what was happening at Singita and see the continuation of that now. Leopard Hills and Singita are right next door to each other so the animals roam back and forth across the dividing road.

Been a great trip. Wonderful weather except for one day in Cape Town but even then it did not rain heavily, just drizzly and overcase.

Leopard Hills has been great and we have three really great rangers here. The food has been excellent and last nights dinner was great. Today we had the BUSH breakfast that was nicely done and tonight a BOMA with local village entertainers.

Everyone has seen the big five but Eugene has not seen Hyena yet so we are going to look for that also. Many have seen them from their decks.

Hard to believe we have only one night left on safari, then a night in Johannesburg and then back to reality. You get so removed from everything out here and I do enjoy that so much. Here at Leopard Hills they put the news headlines on the tables at breakfast. Like the news letter you get on the ships. I opened it up and all it is a recap of all the bombings, hyjackings, etc etc in the world. Today I did not touch it.

Off for a short break and to start the awful packing process, then lunch and then my second to last game drive. Wish us male lions and hyenas
