Sindile is back. What good news!!! Thank you, Alice 44!!!
I wasn't able to look safaris for quite a while, but I shall do so soon! A friend, who always called me during safari and was looking together with me (I had to translate what the guides said), died and that gave me quite a shock ... she was always so delighted to watch all the happenenings, just like myself... and then no calls anymore ....

I am so sorry for your loss -- it is difficult and will make it difficult to watch.
7 July (I think)
Nkuhuma cub
8 July I think (I get a bit confused)
Quarantine and Xivambalana were seen in a confrontation. We did not see any actual fighting -- but they both scent marked and hissed.
Xivambalana is definitely considerably bigger than Quarantine. So, since Quarantine is my favourite I hope he is cautious, or at least does nothing foolish.
I am not sure I can always remember which leopard is which :-)
Quarantine

I think this is Xivambalana because of the bigger scratch high up on his nose -- nope I think these are the same scratches that are on the leopard being filmed today -- so this must be Quarantine.

15 July -- Morning Drive
Jamie found Muvla mating with an at first unknown female.
Muvla & Xiluva (2005 or maybe 2007) -- there is another much younger Xiluva -- this is Inkanyeni's older sister NOT her daughter, who was born in 2013

Hello Everyone!
I hope to post a few pictures if I can get into my photobucket account.
Is there another sort of photo host?
I got in! Yeah
I don't know if y'all have been watching. I have but getting decent images is hard for me.
first -- Mfumo (I think) (One of the Birmingham Boys) This was from just a couple days ago.

Karula -- Brent was following her. She climbed up the tree to get a good view.
During the evening drive she collected her not so little ones to take them to the baby impala she had killed. On the way Hosana (the large male cub) tried to catch a squirrel. He lost it and then Xongile caught it and ate it. When she finished eating, they continued on to their mother's kill.
