Jess I was following the story line by line hoping for good news. Sure it coming. More exciting times at Londolozi. Thanks for this story

Jess, We will keep our fingers crossed, but we know you will find the cubs!

Being a leopard mom is quite stressful, I guess. With all these lions hyenas , crocodiles ( do crocodiles kill leopard cubs?) around that are a danger to their cubs. I would really like to know what is going on in her mind when she is looking for a safe place nobody can find…

Jess, thank you for the update. Hope we can view the cubs in the near future.

Master Tracker

Fingers crossed

So exciting! We hope she is indeed denning more cubs!

Living a mystery–fantastic!

Jess how exciting is that wondering if the Nhlanguleni female has a den there. She is keeping you guessing and soon you will know if there are cubs that she has hidden so very secretly. Tracking is definitely an art to know which tracks belongs to which animal. Very interesting indeed.

It is amazing what can be learned from deceptively simple tracks!

Keeping all fingers and toes crossed for sweet little spotty cubbies soon!

Fantastic sleuth work on trying to locate the den of the Nhlanguleni female. Fingers crossed she does in fact have cubs and can keep them safe. There seems to be a lot of predators from the lion community roaming throughout the property, not the least of which the Ndhzenga, Talamati, Ntsevu sub-adult males, etc. that are known cub killers. Looking forward to seeing photos of her little cubs!

We’re eagerly waiting for news! New tiny cubs to see and hopefully grow! We keep our fingers crossed

How exciting! Hopefully there are some new arrivals to Londolozi!

I was spellbound reading this Jess!! Do keep us posted!!
