Rangers Report February 2010
Once again, welcome back to our Leopardhills Rangers report for February 2010. As usual we’ve had an incredible month with regards to our sightings, bothe on drive and around the lodge!!! 5 days ago we had to chase a young bull Elephant out of camp after it had given our housekeeping ladies a bit of a fright. He then decided to stay in and around camp over the next 2 days giving most of the maintenance staff a bit of a run around!

Heaven on Earth
To Duncan and the entire Leopard Hills team.
Duncan, I was looking forward to meeting you while I visited, but alas you were on leave. If there is one thing that really stands out for me looking back on my visit, it’s the warm, friendly and efficient service from the entire Leopard Hills team. I can only assume that this is not a coincidence by means of selective employment alone, but also from a sense of pride and service excellence passed down from management, which has been embraced by the whole Leopard Hills team.
Please excuse me if I ramble on, but I simply cannot say enough about Leopard Hills. The words needed to sincerely express how honoured and privileged I feel to have been at Leopard Hills, simply elude me.
“Super” Cub
The single female cub from the Ximungwe Pride of lions is now just over 3 months and stronger and healthier than ever.
Leopard Hills Team even the score

Leopard in camp!!
Hi there,
We have arrived back in cold , misty and wet Yorkshire.
Wow what a fab time we had with you all at Leopards Hill.One of the highlights was when Tom , Bente , Frankie , Stephen and I were having a quiet lunch when the mother leopard decided to stroll round the decking and visit us ! Beautiful but a little scary when Frankie and Stephen realised they were viewing her at a distance of about a metre in an area where there was no glass!!!!! Lunch was never the same after that !

Rangers Report January 2010
The New Year started with a bang with some extremely hot days but also some great rains towards the end of the month. We have had some phenomenal and regular sightings of African wild dog (the second most endangered predator in Africa) and great sightings of the 4 new Ottawa lion cubs.
The greatest news of all is that the Hlaba Nkunzi female leopard walked straight into camp with her new born cubs. As her mother, the legendary Makwela, has done for so many years before she was born; she chose the rocky out crop behind our kitchen as her first choice den site.
