Leopards are the hardest of the big 5 to spot. They are so striking with their spots. In order to get to this leopard, our driver drove faster around bumpy curvy gravel roads than I've ever experienced. Those of you that know me well, know I get carsick. But I will say the leopard was worth every nauseous moment. The guides communicate through radio and the second lead he got panned out for us. We pulled up and were able to see it for about a minute before it jumped down and disappeared into the bush. They're very shy.
The lions were also amazing, all ages in the pride including 3 tiny kittens. We got to watch them for probably a half an hour.
Tomorrow, we have an 8 hour drive to the next reserve. Yuck! 3 more nights left before we make the long trek home.
Intense leopard.

Lion grooming. Lots of love there.
