Great pics. I agree with it being a female

If I remember correctly she was in between Marie se draai & Kaspersdraai - making her way towards Marie se draai.
She looked quite ill. She was panting quite a lot, I actually have a little 30sec clip of her walking, she looks as though she is very tired.
I'm assuming she is deceased? Or has she not been spotted since then?

Hi Everyone,

We just returned from our trip to Kruger and we were amazed to see 6 Leopards! I have not gotten through all of the photos yet but here are some images of the first two Leopards we saw.

Two images of the first leopard spotted near Berg En Dal midday. We had the Leopard to ourselves for a bit then 2 cars joined and it moved off into the bush.

The second leopard we saw I believe on the s36 also midday. Great sighting all to ourselves for about 10 minutes!

This is my favourite sighting of leopard.
We were watching lions further up the road at the bridge when i noticed a car at the intersection for a few minutes, decided to see what it was all about.
Well guess what.... we were with the leopard for about 20 minutes, only 3 cars, before it jumped off and crossed the road into the bush.......

I was so lucky with leopard sightings on my last trip in April -5 separate sightings with at most two other cars.
This was the best by far.
I turned in to Magamba, only to find no water and no game. I turned around and on the way back -I'd passed only two minutes before- this met my eyes.

I pulled across the road expecting that he would go straight into the bush but instead he got up and strolled towards me.

He came within a few feet of the car and stood looking straight at me. I was so mesmerised that it didn't even occur to me to wind up the window though he was less than 5 ft away!

Then he casually walked behind the car and disappeared into the bush.
