25 & 26 Aug

 Yesterday afternoon started off very well, we had loads of elephants around the lodge, the buffalo came down towards the lodge as well so you can imagine how busy it was here. We went towards the boundary and who do we see in the distance, none other than Xivambalane resting next to a termite mound, full to the brim after a good meal. We viewed him and carried on, about 200m we saw a female leopard. No one knew who she was but she was beautiful. A couple of us went for drinks break while Karin stayed with them. The two leopards joined up and mated. From there they came onto Nkorho area, we had the most beautiful sighting of them walking around and also mating. Pictures to follow. On our way back we encountered a very relaxed white tailed mongoose that posed for the cameras.













This morning also started extremely well as we had lions calling all around the lodge all night long. We went out to search for them and as anticipated we found one of the Matimba males walking over kaalkol east of the lodge. After that we went to the west but it was very quite that side of the world.
