We arrived in Skukuza on Tuesday 24 May and did not leave camp for the first 2 days.
On Thursday, feeling guilty, we got up at 6.45 and went for a pjama drive (self explanatory!). On the Maroela Loop we came across a car stopped near a dry river bed. We asked what they were looking at, and were told two young leopards.
First one, then the other emerged from the undergrowth at the roadside, and walked down the road jostling one another like two naughty kids on their way to school.
We freewheeled back down into the dry river bed and watched them cross and disappear into the bush on the other side.
It was all over in less than 5 minutes, but what a sighting!
The couple who had spotted them initially thought that the mother was somewhere close by and that the youngsters were being sent out on their own to learn some independence.
