Hi everone, just returned from yet another exciting leopard trip last week. We were at the KNP for a week between the 29th June and 6th July and had an incredible 20 leopards during this time. Saw mother and her 2 cubs on the S 3, mating leopards from Skukuza deck, saw a leopard kill a massive warthog, leopard on a rock, tree crossing the road etc.

Hey!
Are you by any chance @imraan_mohamed on Twitter?
Also saw mostly what you said.

Anyway I would love to see some photos or a TR! Are you going to do one?

So lucky to see so many leopards. Most I have seen in one trip is 3!

Hi ossendrywer, we were together, Imraan is my son in law.

In January we spent seven nights at Ngwenya Lodge and were fortunate to see 12 leopard and fifteen cheetah as well as wild dogs twive along with numerous sightings of lions and other general game,

We then visited the park for two days ad saw 2 leopards and 2 cheetahs at the end of April.

Therefore my leopard count for the year so far stands at 34 and cheetahs at 21.
