Rhulani Insights 064 - We find the leopard Tsala

  • April 02, 2017 | Rhulani Safari Lodge

Look behind the scenes of Rhulani Safari Lodge.

It's almost dark when Sean gets the message over the radio that a wonderful leopard female was found. We go there, of course. Welcome to today's episode of Rhulani Insights.

The Leopard is not only one of the famous "Big 5", it is also the one that is most difficult to find. Today's episode is dedicated to this beautiful cat, which can be seen in Madikwe with a bit of luck, as we have here. Our Ranger Sean tells us more about leopards, and why it is so difficult to find them, although there are actually quite a few of them in the reserve. As we approach, "Tsala" lies very relaxed in the open field, so we have a very nice sighting despite the dawning darkness.

“The leopard does not change his spots.” – William Shakespeare, Poet

Stay tuned for next episode on Sunday 16 April 2017 when we attend Rhulani’s morning staff meeting.
