Let’s face it - if it was easy it wouldn’t be nearly as exciting, and a leopard sighting from the boat at stiegler’s gorge is hands down, pant wetting - exciting!
That splash patterning is not only breathtakingly beautiful but it serves as an incredible camouflage just about anywhere (I’m told there are leopards living in Johannesburg – how’s that for adaptable?!).
There is a dappled, morning light coming through the forest canopy that cloaks the steep sided gorge, turning every rock and stump into a possible leopard sighting. It is they who choose whether or not they are seen.
What a privilege that we were on board for this particular sighting and managed to get some snaps of this remarkable cat.
