The Kings of the Road — and a Little Leopard Cub

If you read their enthusiastic account, there’s only one conclusion: co-owners Elsebeth and Walter recently had an incredible time at Limpopo-Lipadi. Read their story below:

“We spent eight days at Limpopo-Lipadi, with Joseph as our ranger. It was a bit more challenging to spot animals this time—the grass was tall, and after the exceptional rains a few months ago, everything was green and dense. Still, we had some fantastic sightings: plenty of birdlife, rhinos grazing in the open, and elephants at the waterholes. We also came across a pack of seven wild dogs—always a highlight.

One particularly special moment was seeing a small leopard cub with its mother. The mother had just caught a guineafowl and shared it with the cub. We watched them walk down the dirt road together, clearly content after their meal.

But the real showstoppers were two male lions we saw on our last day. In the morning, Joseph spotted them resting in the bush. Later that day, during our afternoon drive, we found them again—this time right by the road. We waited and watched as they slowly got up and moved to the center of the road, stretching out and lying down like they owned the place. In the beam of the 4×4’s spotlight, they truly looked like kings.

To end the day, Joseph switched off the car and the lights, and we sat in silence under a stunning night sky full of stars. A memorable way to wrap up a great trip!”
