We were the first car into the iSimangaliso Wetland Park through Bhangazi Gate this morning, before sunrise. And this leopard sighting was just one of the day’s highlights!
We’re spending three nights at picturesque Cape Vidal, and can’t wait to experience all that iSimangaliso has in stall for us tomorrow…


Sjoe julle was gelukkig!
Absoluut Tina! En was dit nou nie n lekker gelukkie nie!

En daar het, dankie Tina! Drie fantastiese dae agtermekaar!

Dit is so Aletta, en so ryk in dier- en plantlewe daarby!
Wow, What a majestic looking!
Leopards really are big cat royalty!
Wonderful capture! Have a great weekend. 🙂

Beautiful picture. I love leopards.
And to think I wake up to a bunch of squirrels each morning in Canada! I want your life! Ha Ha
We’re definitely richly blessed to have “wild Africa” so close to our doorstep 😉
Nice teaser guys! We’re looking forward to more sightings from our favourite KZN-park. Have a great time 🙂
Thanks Maurice! From the minute we arrived yesterday we were just reminded once again why this is one of our favourite wild places too!
Fond memories of our stays in the log cabins. They’re still there?
Yes they are Maurice, we’re in #18 right at the back of the camp on the edge of the dune forest 😉
Wicked! We’ve been at CV twice but didn’t go two years ago
And what a highlight. This is just glorious, Dries. I have just been writing about such a sighting in some fiction I’m writing. So thank you.
Thank you Tish! An encounter with a big cat is always exciting, isn’t it? And knowing your writing talent I’m sure your readers will get a true sense of the experience!
That’s a very lovely compliment 🙂
