Cubs come out to play!

Our two favourite leopard ladies have enticed their latest additions to come out and play in the cooler weather over the past week!

Nestled right between the territories of both females and their respective den sites, Leopard Hills has truly lived up to our name this week!

First it was 6 and a half year old Hlaba Nkunzi who brought out her little one on a rainy afternoon and then it was 6 year old Metsi’s turn! She gave us a once in a lifetime display yesterday with her cub on a rock! We are still not sure if Metsi has one or two cubs, this little one below was very brave though considering it was his first view of vehicles.

Enjoy the pictures and video, the 2 litters of cubs are estimated to be around the same tender age of 6 weeks!

Metsi’s cub about to emerge…look closely!

Groomed by a caring mom.

Bravely looking out into the world, with a paw firmly attached to mom of course.

Getting too brave…mom has to bring him back!
