🐆 Exciting Discovery at Welgevonden Game Reserve! 🍓

A rare strawberry leopard has been sighted for the first time within the pristine landscapes of Welgevonden Game Reserve. The elusive creature, with its pale skin, faint spots, blue eyes, and pink features, is a captivating example of the diverse wildlife in South Africa.

These hungry lions were spotted in a nearby area the night before Ellard (iBhubesi's game ranger) suggested we retrace the same area during an early morning game drive. Just as Ellard had anticipated, we were treated to this very exciting encounter.

via Nungubane Game Lodge "Wildebeest are some of the most phenomenal animals on the planet. They are strong, determined and vibrant. They are active in the mornings and late afternoons to escape the midday heat and sleep at night. While there are those who find them unattractive or not, the truth is that they are some of the toughest animals you will ever come across." 📷 from Nungubane Game Lodge

She was very nervous but gave us just enough time to capture a few shots before she scurried off into the thickets. Wow, I feel privileged to have experienced such a rare sighting in the Welgevonden Game Reserve.'
