Peek-a-booh with a Young Leopard

By: Limpopo-Lipadi | Date: Dec 24, 2024 | Reserve

Early one morning, we were lucky enough to spot a young female leopard resting in a tree. We seemed to have caught her just as she was preparing to come down, probably on the hunt for her next meal. She paused, watching us intently from her perch, her eyes locked onto us in complete stillness.

After a few moments, she decided to make her move, slipping quietly down the tree. We followed her carefully off-road into the bush, hoping to see what would happen next. Suddenly, she bolted through the bush, her powerful body stretching out as she chased a scrub hare.
Though she disappeared into the thicket before we could see the outcome, we’re pretty sure it was a win for the leopard. A thrilling moment with one of Limpopo-Lipadi’s stealthiest hunters.
