The bush is certainly not going to be the same. What a beautiful cat with a nature to match. I can find no words to explain the sadness I feel, although I am hoping although it may seem futile, that the Leopard that met it's demise was not her...

The cub in the picture with Makwela is Hlaba Nkunzi at about 10 weeks & she is growing up to be as beautiful as her mother....may she live as long a life as her Mom!!

Drew, thanks for perservering - its a stunning photo, she will be greatly missed by all who knew her, and for those who didnt we can still feel your pain. She has left a legacy and made a difference to many souls, that's all that any being can ask to do whilst on this earth. Take care and thanks for sharing.

Gorgeous photo! Thank you for sharing. I do hope Makwela is still alive, out there somewhere, safe. If not, she will always "live" in our hearts. Thanks to Leopard Hills for introducing us to such an amazing creature.
