How would be possible to choose a picture? There is such an incredible collection of big cats and cubs! The giraffe and the elephant make great pictures too, but I must say that the hippo made me smile and is an incredible picture I would choose as nr 1. The hyena cub is the nicest I’ve ever seen. Not the Three Rivers females’ cub or the cheetah cub but really nice… all cats are in their prime I see. The Ntomi male makes me smile too, he’s superb and I see the Senegal Bush male in him, his large chest and pose. At the beginning I thought the Ximungwe female was him! Then I noticed the difference

Thanks Francesca, it is hard to choose a favourite! It was a great week 🙂

Kelsey, Thanks for the update on all the activity! Your photos are spectacular. We love the image of the three Kambula males. They are very handsome men for sure!

Always a pleasure. They really are looking good!

What a thrilling leopard week, Kelsey! And your images of them are all special. And those of the Kambula males are amazing! Such huge, golden manes. More males to add to the lion dynamics!

Thanks Mary Beth! It was an exceptional week and hopefully we will be seeing more of the Kambula males again.

This is a fantastic TWIP Kelsey, highlighting so many of the favorite leopards seen in Londolozi. It was wonderful to see Ntomi as I know he’s been spending his days further west of his natal area. Your capture of the hippo, feet in the air, is priceless. Your patience, planning and tracking are definitely evident in your images shared with us today.

Thank you Denise! It was a great week and a lot of fun tracking 🙂

So many wonderful photos, Kelsey. I always appreciate the ones of cats, of course, they are just my favorite animals. The one I like the most this week is the funny one of the Naomi male in the bush. And the two giraffes and the cute cheetah cub, and, and and… So many leopards, fantastic. And the male lions look really gorgeous.

Thanks Christa, I’m glad you enjoyed them all. The sighting of Ntomi was really entertaining!

Dear Kelsey, thanks for that wonderful cat TWIP. Nice shot with Ntomi in the bush.

My pleasure Jutta! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

SO happy to see the Ntomi male…missed his beautiful face! Noticed the unusual markings on the Nottens male’s ears! Also the Xitsalala male’s fuzzy ears! Love the hyena cub’s grin too 🙂

Thanks Anita, I’m glad you enjoyed all the face, new and old!

Your last picture of the hippo reminds me of the old adage, “You can lead a horse to eater, but you can’t make them drink” which you have paraphrased to: “You can lead a hippo to water, but you’ve accomplished nothing if you can’t get him to float on his back!” Great images overall especially the cats!!!

Haha so true! Thanks Bob and Lucie 🙂

Hi Kelsey, we surely are spoilt this week with lots of photos of the leopards. So glad to see the Ntomi male again. He seems to be doing well and always looking for an opportunity to find something. Giraffe’s are beautiful and those two Kambula male lions are very impressive.

It really was a week of spoils. Thanks Valmai.

What a wonderful TWIP Kelsey. So many amazing leopard images that it’s impossible to pick a favorite!

Thanks Paul!

Kelsey, my favorite picture this week is the Ntomi male in the bush. Just an extraordinary shot.

Thank you William! He is always entertaining 🙂

So hard to choose a favorite. They are all excellent photos! The cheetah cub and Ntomi male was just having fun or scent marking

Thanks Sandra! It was an exceptional week and very hard to pick a favourite!

Great TWIP Kelsey, the image of Ntomi made me laugh and is my favourite.
Many thanks again to you and Richard for a fantastic 6 days and many wonderful memories.

Thanks Suzanne! Glad you enjoyed the Ntomi male picture – he is always very entertaining.
Such a pleasure Suzanne, see you next year!

I love the smiling hyena–I certainly smiled in return. Glad to hear the cheetah family is thriving. The Nottens male already looks so impressive that it’s hard to believe he’s a young leopard.

Glad you could share a smile with the hyena Chelsea! The Nottens is a very impressive young male and we look forward to seeing more of him

A super TWIP, thank you Kelsey. Stunning cats; cats everywhere. Loved all the pics, I never find it possible to choose a favourite. Lovely to see the little cheetah growing up.

Thank you Jane! It’s always tough to pick a favourite 🙂
