When they come to bring our tea and coffee in the morning both Caroline and I start dreaming that we hear someone knocking and calling to us so we don't wakeup leaving the poor chap standing out in the cold yelling louder to get us up.
It was very cold this morning as we headed out to find The Dudley Riverbank female leopard and possibly her cub. But, we stumbled on the Nottens 5/5 female leopard. She is a remarkable 17 years and still looks pretty good. We saw her stalk a bushbuck but the antelope spotted her first, alarmed then fled.
She won't live much longer as this is old for a leopard. She'll find it more and more difficult to bring down kill and won't have the strength to take into a tree so it will more than likely be stolen. She'll eventually starve to death.
The lodges won't interfere with the lives of the wildlife in anyway unless it's a manmade injury.
After a late breakfast we did a tour of the staff's village then Caroline got another massage. We have a game drive tonight and we're hoping for one more before we fly to Johannesburg then home to the stars tomorrow night.
Apparently there is an eccentric couple that arrived today from England that spends six weeks here every year. Good gosh o mighty.
