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 !

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.

Leopard Hills in Action
It’s hard to capture what you can see on a Safari, the energy and beauty… The last thing I wanted was to come back to the States with more pictures of lions and Leopards. National Geo does that better that I can. But… I can create a memory, an impression – of what it was like to be taken on an amazing journey by the Leopard Hills team… So here it is. Hope you enjoy:
