Sighting Report

Leopard running into a tree, buffalo cow and calf and a cheetah kill

Leopard running into a tree

Mbilo was up to her old tricks chasing mongoose around. She ran at one a great speed diving for the base of a fallen over Knobthorn. She underestimated her breaking ability and ran straight into the fallen over tree. The look on her was face was priceless.

Buffalo cow & calf
 
We came across a big breeding herd of buffalo drinking water. A few minutes went past when we saw a female slowly emerging from the tree line, right behind her was a newly born calf still with wobbling legs.
 
Cheetah kill
 
A cheetah female and her cub walked in the tree line and saw an impala, the chase was on. The incredible speed of the cheetah was impressive and it took her only a few seconds to catch up with the impala and it was soon all over.
