The camera trap footage of the leopards was fantastic! I could also feel the excitement of the wild dog den discovery. I felt like I was right there with you.

I just don’t know where to start – you really have surpassed yourselves! Incredible footage, especially the drone pictures from above of the Ximungwe female climbing the tree, just astonishing. And as for the wild dog pups! Question for you James, think you were saying previously that wild dogs hadn’t denned on Londolozi before, but I saw a den of 6 pups in September ’14. They were about 3 months old and ran after us when we finally left them, an amazing sighting.

Amazing footage of leopards and the wild dogs… and those babies!! Did I count 10? Sweet momma did a great job. Thank you for sharing this. It made my week for sure. Looove these videos! I know they are a great deal of work but it really brings you there. I never get tired of watching them over again.

Thrilling video of the new puppies with the wiggling white-tipped tails! So sweet and so exciting to have them born on Londolozi. Looking forward to more images as they grow up!

When you said on a previous blog that the one-eared female wild dog was looking very pregnant, I didn’t realise she was THAT pregnant. So glad for you that the family choose your property to den in. I hope they stay put and don’t relocate to a neighbouring property which their range also encompasses.

Really enjoy the virtual Safari’s. The pups of the one eared wild dog are mind lifting. For some reason I was unsure if the one eared female would find a mate

A really nice video safari James. You all had such incrediblesightings and, am sure the wild dog puppies topped the list. Am glad you still have your foot after that male leopard decided to check it out. This makes a nice change from the gloom and doom many around the world are suffering. I hope you all stay well and safe. Thank you for sharing with us. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Delighted to see the Wild Dog pups!!
Regarding the Male Leopards, they look evenly matched? Would they be 140/150lbs????
