Long-standing Londolozi guest, Tony Goldman, thoroughly enjoyed his second visit in 2022 where the game viewing and photographic opportunities speak for themselves.
“My wife and I were fortunate to visit Londolozi a second time in 2022 -this time in October. As always we have high expectations and once again we were not disappointed and had another spectacular visit. Both trips we were lucky enough to spend with Barry and Tsepho, whom we have terrific chemistry!
The game viewing was marvellous and on this five day trip saw 10 different leopards which is quite a feat in itself. The lion sightings were also fantastic seeing the Ndzhenga Males,the Ntsevu Pride on a number of occasions. One poinient highlight was following four Ntsevu Sub-adults over the crests on their way to the Sand River for a drink after finishing off a buffalo carcass.
Other highlights was the Three Rivers Duo drinking from a small waterhole during the golden light of the late afternoon.
For me the birds are always fantastic, and we managed to capture a number this trip.”
Enjoy this selection of images…
The Tsalala Female nestled amongst some boulders on the banks of the Sand River.
Mothers and their offspring.
A fantastic collection of leopard images. In order from the top left to right, the Stone Drift Female, Three Rivers Young Male, Flat Rock Male. Bottom left to right, Ntomi Male, Stone Drift Female and Three Rivers Young Male again.
Also young and playful but rather with a spot pattern of 3:2. She is slightly bigger than her sister.
Somewhat skittish after becoming independent, he is an impressive young male with a rich golden coat.
A dominant male leopard over the majority of the north. He originally took over the 4:4 Male's territory when he died.
A single cub of the Ximungwe Female's second litter. Initially rather skittish but is very relaxed now. Birth mark in his left eye.
Birds are always a highlight, starting on the left, a pair of Yellow-billed Storks, then an inquisitive Bearded Scrub-robin. A Reb-billed Teal and Scarlet-chested Sunbird on the bottom right.
Ntsevu Sub-adults marching down towards the Sand River with incredibly full bellies. At this point, they only have one thing on their minds and that is a satisfying cool drink of water.
Heads down and on a mission as the morning began to warm up considerably.
Finally, the moment they had been waiting for. A nice long cold drink of fresh river water.
A mixture of other stunning creatures, from dragonflies, kudus and hyenas to a great image of a warthog.
And lastly, a fantastic set of images of the lions of Londolozi, The Ntsevu Sub-adults on their mission and an Ndzhenga Male while he was on a territorial patrol.

Good to see the Tsalala female without that nasty gash above her eye, I hope that heals fine. Please keep us updated on her.
The hyena resting its head is a great pic.
