Leopard Looking For Game

Kirkmans Kamp - Sabi Sands Game Reserve

Leopards are very well concealed by their coat color and the brown conditions of the South African winter months. Here a female sits waiting for something to come up.

The leopards have good hunting in the winter, since they stay relatively near the Sabi river, where all the game must come for drinks every day. It's reportedly harder hunting in the summer months, but all the leopards we see are very well fed at this time of the year.
