Tshidi

Unread post by Touareg »

We had a great KTP trip from 8 tp 16 December seeing Leopard every day.


Another shot of Tsamma after she visited Urikaruus waterhole on the morning of 16 December at 04:40 am. She walked under under 2 and up to the camp attendants unit, smelled the stairs and walked under the unit and up the hill behind the unit.

Your leopard at Urikaruus - This is not Tsamma but Tshidi, the young male.
