Look closely and you will see a large spotted leopard in the tree. Later in the day he killed an impala and drug it back into the tree for dinner!! He is one of the Big 5!!

There are 130,000 of these beautiful impalas at the park. We saw hundreds and watched them up close running and jumping.
We saw 50 of these large animals. At night the hippos come out of the water and feed.
From the largest hippo
to the smallest dung beattle it was fascinating. If you look closely you will see one riding while the other does all of the pushing this piece of elephant dung!Such a sleepy looking hyena but it does hunt all night long!

Three nights in this cozy raised tent next to the Lower Sabie river. All night long the cries of hippos and other wild beasts let us know we were on a Safari!!
