It will be lovely to see leopard cubs. With the wild dog pups it seems to be a great year for baby animals.

2017 was absolutely incredible for cub sightings!

What about the Ingrid Dam, Makomsava and Nanga females?

Leopards are amazingly Beautiful and there fast and fast climbers. All the Lady Leopards are special and seem to have there own personalities. As I think all Leopards are special Nhlanguleni and Ndzanzeni are 2 of my favorites. Hope there doing well.

So if I read your article correctly, winter is the prime time for leopards to birth their young. Knowing nothing is certain in the wild, I still would like to rebook my canceled trip so that I might finally view these little gems of the feline world. Thoughts?

It would be very interesting to see which of these females are raising cubs along with the Nkoveni and Piccadily Female.

Let us hope that you are right in thinking these beautiful cats are pregnant and that all the cubs will survive. A nice blog James and thanks for sharing with us. Keep us posted on the cubs please. Be well and stay safe all of you at Londolozi.

Hello I have a diploma in Animal Behaviour and have studied plant biology. I am very interested in all your beautifully written especially articles about vegetation, insects, sea environment and cats great and small. .. I had seen John Varty’s unforgettable documentary about the Mother Leopard and grew up while reading Joy and George Adamson’s book. Great population of leopards in Londolozi and well preserved I hope also cheetah will gain endangered status as wild dogs. They are fading fast.

Leopards are sooo beautiful; they are definite my favorites and especially so, of course, when they have cubs. I hope that lots of the cubs -to- be- born will still be alive when it is possible again to visit Londolozi.
