2011-03-27 – Tsavo West

Talking about surprise encounters! In the afternoon, a young female Leopard stood in the middle of the road, completely relaxed. She even laid down in the shade on the road, watching me with her beautiful eyes. She then disappeared in the vegetation. The rest of the day was quiet, but what I really like about Tsavo West is the constant possibility of unusual sightings. Here I have seen my first Wild Dogs, my first Aardwolf and my first Caracal, plus the rare Klipspringer, and frequently Leopards.
