So good that the cub is alive and thriving. A clever mother that she hid her cub so well that nobody and nothing could disturb it for two months. I keep my fingers crossed that this little one will make it through all the dangers of its natural surroundings.

How precious to see this. Thank you for sharing.

That’s fantastic Kelsey, thank you so much for sharing that.

What an epic sighting. The cubs is absolutely precious and just beautiful. The Ximhungwe female is just stunning. So glad her cub is ok. Praying she can raise it to adulthood. Has she raised any cubs to adulthood?? Thanks so much for sharing such an amazing moment!! 💜🐆

Marvelous news and video. What a wonderful way to start my day…thank you

What a happy day to hear that this little one is still alive and well. Love those blue eyes!

Hi Kelsey such a lovely surprise to see the little cub! Adorable! The Ximungwe female is such a beauty. She took a great effort in raising her previous successful litter, she’s really the kind if Nkoveni Female. The Ntomi male is so precious being her and the Senegal Bush male ‘s son. Do you know if the little one is a male again or a female? So uplifting and heartwarming…..

Hi Kelsey, this is so exciting to see the Ximungwe’s new cub. So very very precious and it is born on my mother’s birthday. She has passed away, but I will remember the date the little cub was born. The Ximungwe female is a special leopardess and her son the Ntomi male was just as special with his speck in his eye. Hope really she raise this cub to adulthood as well. You are so privileged Kelsy and Tayla for viewing this phenomenal sighting first hand. I am sure you have many more special moments to share with your guests and us on email.

Such great news Kelsey and thanks for including photos of Ximungwe, plus her cub. Since she’s raised two males to independence, I’m hopeful that given she has just one cub, it will be somewhat easier for her to take care of him, but given bush life, who knows?!

Sweet moments! Lucky you to have shared them.

Dear Kelsey, that is so a wonderful story and thanks for sharing this video. It is really a very impressive moment to see such a small cub.

Kelsey, thanks for the pictures of this new cub. I hope it continues to thrive.

A magical game drive it was – sighting of a lifetime. Great post Kelsey.
