Time passes so quickly when spent in the company of leopards.
The Nkoveni female is one of the Mainstays of @londolozi leopard viewing, having been born in the Sand River just downstream from their camps in August 2012 and still territorial on the reserve. She has successfully raised a number of cubs to independence.
The croaking noise heard in the background is the alarm-call of a grey go-away bird.

Elephants in the Okavango Delta will often take to the water to feed on the softer plant material to be found there.

During the Southern African dry season of May - September, the herds congregate around the remaining water sources, and if one is patient, they WILL come...
Here a herd enjoys the last of the light while drinking on the fringes of Botswana's Okavango Delta.

Wonderful scenes with two playful young leopards, from our guests’ recent safari to @malamalagamereserve.

The consumate ease with which a leopard descends a tree is one of the most impressive things about these cats. Here a young female descends from where she had been feeding on her impala kill.
We thought we'd revisit one of our favourite videos today, just because we can...
