The moments passed slowly as we waited for the cub to walk out on the road. Shy yet curious it eventually followed its mother, the Wacheche Female, onto the dirt track and walked down the road behind here. With territory in the deep south of Londolozi, this Leopard of Londolozi is not frequently seen but when she is, her cub is usually with her and thus presents a truly memorable sighting, much like the one below.

Thats awesome to hear Sarah, we are looking forward to having you. Hopefully you will get to see this cub as well as lots more! Thanks for your comments.
Are there two leopard cubs right now? Elmon and James spotted a young cub with its mother on April 28th. The pictures I have of the female show her as a 3:3. The Wacheche female is a 3:2.
Hi Jo Lynne, the cubs you saw may have been the Ravenscourt female’s. She is the other prominent leopard with cubs right now. I will confirm with James for you.
