Wildlife

I’ve blogged about my fabulous leopard sighting near Skukuza in the Kruger National Park during my visit in July of this year before, but couldn’t resist publishing another photo of that encounter here as entry into LetsBeWild.com‘s weekly photo challenge – this week’s challenge is wildlife and I think it fits the bill perfectly. Let us know if you agree please!

We are thrilled that this entry was awarded an honorable mention from the adjudicators of LetsBeWild.com’s wild weekly photo challenge!

I can’t believe you got to see a wild African leopard, what an amazing experience that must’ve been! You’re very fortunate to live in a country with such spectacular wildlife!

Thank you very much, as always. It’s as if their (the big cats’) eyes see straight into your soul, isn’t it?

  Yes, I believe you’re right. Felines, both big, wild and smaller domestic have always had a place in my heart. You post some really wonderful images which bring back so many great Africa memories. I miss that place so much. Thanks as always.

  With every passing day I think we realise more and more how priviledged we are to be calling this country and continent home! I can only imagine the longing you feel.
