Reporting Date: 23.9.2012
Its unusual to spot the leopard wandering in the open in broad day light but there are cirmustances that make this happen. It could be, being kicked out of its territory by another male, or in search of a female partner among other reasons. On full day game drive Ferdinard and his four guest bumped into a leopard that came majistically towards their car without fear and walked match past across the plains to a distant into a mini valley two kilometers away.
