Our final morning on safari started off with a bang, with a large male leopard actively marking his territory. We spent a good forty minutes with him in some glorious light, before he slinked away into the reeds. A couple of good rhino sightings and a great look at the largest African eagle provided some good photo opportunities, followed by an hour spent with a herd of elephants coming down to the river to drink.
Overall we saw 6 different leopards (7 sightings), 2 prides of lions, many herds of elephants, several rhino sightings, numerous buffalo, great general game including giraffe, zebra and hippo, and close to 70 different bird species! The Classic South African Safari never disappoints, and this was no exception!
