Group 2 has a lot of varying itineraries until May 10 when we fly to the bush and start the safaris. Most of them including jack and Laura are now in Cape Town.

What a morning. Probably the most incredible morning ever.

One vehicle tracked through heavy bush a leopard with two Cubs only two months old. Quick glimpses was all we got but we did not give up. At one point we could see the female but no Cubs. Then a hyena came along and the leopard hissed and then ran into the bush. If that hyena had not turned up the Cubs may have come out and we would of had a great sighting. After a lot more off roading and tracking when I thought they were gone for good we Finally saw the three leopards, they had moved into a dry river bed and we followed them. No real good shots as we were behind them but we could see the Cubs running and playing. This was really fantastic. We had called our other two vehicles but they were far out. I could not understand why they were not closer. One vehicle arrived just as the leopards went into thick bush.

We keep trying to find the leopards again and then one of the vehicles found them walking down the road. They did not have a great sighting but at least both vehicles got to see them.

I found out later they were late to the sighting as they had other large male lion in the reserve with an impala kill. Had to stop for that.

Our vehicle left to go see the male lion. Just to top off the male lion and the leopards sightings one vehicle saw a kill right out in the open and the other vehicle came in just after the kill took place. This sounded like a fantastic sighting. All these years I have not seen anything like this and I will describe what I was told.

The pride with the Cubs we had seen on a kill the first night saw a wildebeest herd. They started stalking the herd. They left the Cubs in the road to create a diversion. The wildebeest focused on the Lion Cubs and were going crazy. Meanwhile the adult females lions circled back and then pounced and killed a wildebeest about 10 feet in front of the vehicle. A little bit graphic for some but something rare that few people see. I guess I just have to keep on trying.

We were then thrilled with a wonderful breakfast in the bush. Everyone was so excited telling the accounts of the mornings activities. There are only two game drives left it seems to have passed so quickly. So sorry to say goodbye to everyone we have had a super time. But I am looking forward to sharing the safari adventure with the next two groups.
