A BIG thank you to James and Kevin for sharing such great photos and video of the cubs! With my Sunday cup of coffee in hand, I couldn’t wait to see what the post would be today! Made my day!!

Congrats to the new mom! Mashaba looks very regal and proud in the middle photo. Some lucky guests at Londo are bound to have some great sightings!

I do hope these beautiful cubs survive, will be waiting for updates on their progress.

Amazing video footage. Awesome blog.

The pictures and video are fantastic James and Kevin and amazing to see her carrying the cub up into the tree!! It’s so great to see cubs again. I really hope and pray that Mashaba will be able to keep them safe. Thank you so much for sharing this — you really made my day!

Adorable! They had just been born when I visited a few weeks ago, so was anxious to get a look at these two little ones.

There’s nothing like leopard cubs for the highest cuteness factor! But who is Robson’s 4:4 male? This is a new name to me…

Hi Mary Beth,

He is a male that is new to the area who we believe originated in the Kruger Park. He was first seen as a sun-adult male in the Manyelethi Reserve to our north a few years ago and he seems now to have established himself along the Sand River. He is still not 100% relaxed around vehicles, hence our belief that he came from the Kruger.
As sightings of him become more frequent I’m sure he will become more and more habituated.

I will be praying and hoping that these little cubs make it. What a fantastic video. I never knew leopards carried their young into trees like that. Great pictures as well. Nice reveal.
Stay safe little ones….

Hi Loretta,

It was a first for us too! Kev says he had tears in his eyes when he was filming it! A truly once-in-a-lifetime thing to see!

It was such a privilege James … such a special experience to spend time with Mashaba and cubs! We wish mum and babies all the luck in the world. Keep them safe until we return again.
