It's fantastic to start this blog with some leopard magic. After entering the Kruger National Park on 3 July the magic quickly started. Our third animal sighting was a relaxed leopard lying on a rock very near to the road. For a long while we were able to observe it and take photographs of it, like the one added here, which was taken by one of the guests on the vehicle. After a while the leopard stood up, walked around while marking her territory, and then decided to cross the road in front of us. An absolutely exhilirating experience. We had many other great sightings on the tour, including 5 lions playing together and making the earth tremble with their roars. We also had a very inquisitive rhino that came to investigate the vehicle from a few meters away. And then there was the moment at Mpondo dam where we had an array of animals - impalas, warthog, elephant, zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, rhino, waterbuck, and lions - all at the same time, most of which came to drink. However, none of those sightings came close to the leopard magic we experienced on our first day.
Let the magic continue!
