Mention the word Londolozi and someone is bound to mention leopards! Thanks to our expert trackers and rangers we are able admire these elusive animals in their natural environment. Leopards have found a safe home in the reserve and knowledgable rangers and trackers work hard to locate their whereabouts to make your experience unforgettable. It’s for this reason that Londolozi has become synonymous with these elegant cats. Sightings are never guaranteed so it is always very special to see a leopard.
Over the years we have had many incredible sightings. Below is a compilation of 30 images shared on our Instagram account taken by Londolozi rangers. We feel that each one deserves a spot in the top 30. Scroll through and tell us what you think!

Just retweeted these. Hope you don’t mind.
Wonderful, thank you Elaine. Please share!
WOW… when is the best time for such wonderful sightings…. I will be there
Thanks Karyn, Londolozi is wonderful for leopard sightings all year round! Have a look at our seasons blog for a good indication of the attractions of each month: http://blog.londolozi.com/2014/04/when-is-the-best-time-to-visit-londolozi/
As you have spoiled us with so many wonderful choices in all your blogs (that make us all longing to come back to Londolozi) I will be picky: so I select on composition, perfection in sharpness, etc. and that African look: B&W makes it so special. My choice for the intimacy of pic#2 it is just outstanding!
Thanks for sharing.
Great choice. It is an absolutely exceptional image.
They are out of this world beautiful !
Wonderful Images…difficult to pick the best :)….all great photographers
All simply amazing. The way they show the character of these incredible cats. Number 16 and 17 are my favourite.
There is no such thing as a bad photo of a Leopard! We will be with you five days from now and will try very hard to come home with shots that can compete with the excellent results the rangers bring to the table. Ed
Fantastic! Come visit us at the Londolozi Creative Studio during your stay – we’d love to see some of your photos.
Image #2 is my favourite, but they are all spectacular! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Jill. No 2 is an outstanding photograph. I am so pleased you enjoyed the blog.
Wow what a difficult decision to make! If I have to say a few, 2, 6, 9, 12, 14 (lighting spectacular), 21, 23 (is so regal), 29 & 30. Congratulations to all you wonderful Rangers for these beautiful images & have a lovely “holiday” finding more. 🙂
Thank you Wendy. Aren’t they just amazing? We have very talented rangers.
Awesome compilation Kate. Thanks for posting and including some of my pics.
Thank you Rich, great images indeed.
Another amazing Blog Kate! I would canvas 2 , 9 , 12 , 23 and 29!
I now know what to get you for your birthday! Thanks Anna. 🙂
All absolutely extraordinary. Truly, a gallery showcasing the pure breathtaking beauty of leopards. The silhouetted cat climbing up the tree is particularly stunning!
Beautiful images, love that photo as well, truly outstanding.
I was wondering if you can name the leopards for us, maybe if Dudley Riverbank is in there. Thanks
Thank you Lynda, I will get the rangers to identify the leopards and add in their names – thanks for the suggestion. The Dudley Riverbank female is number 12 taken by James Tyrrell.
