AJ's Snaptorium

Spotted!

Day 12 in South Africa, Day 9 in Kruger, We finally sighted a Leopard, We had been staying in Pretoriuskop when we had finally succumbed to the lure of organised Game Drives, Annie Booked us a Night Drive and a Morning Drive for the next day, We did the Night Drive last night, and was not dissapointed seeing as we saw the Lions, But as the Night Drive only saw us return to our Chalet 23:00hrs it was two very bleary eyed people that made our way to the pick up point at 04:30hrs the next morning..... Still, we soon perked up when our driver arrived and hustled us all in to the vehicle as he had seen a Leopard as he made his way to the camp to pick us up.
two & a half hours later we still had not seen the elusive Leopard, then just as we were on the last stretch of road leading to the camp someone yelled out STOP! and there at the side of the less than 100ft away was this magnificent beast, It looked as if it was lying in wait for some prey, as just then a couple of Nyala came down through the Bush but the poor leopard seem to be unsure what to do. But soon after they passed, it slunk off into the undergrowth in the direction the Nyala disappeared in.
