Leopard with Impala kill

This time we ventured to a different area of the reserve not too far from the lodge. Having driven across in about 30mins it wasn’t long after this that we had the ‘pings’ of a third leopard in our ears. I couldn’t believe our luck - our guide had been tracking an adolescent female which we found lying in a clearing. We were able to get pretty close (close enough to get frame filling shots at 300mm!), and it really showed off her amazing markings. After a little while she got up and walked towards (not realising at the time) an Impala kill she had made approximately a couple of days before. As we followed her the stench of death quickly overpowered us and we knew where she was heading. As the light began to fade we were able to watch her tuck into this rotting flesh - such an amazing sight and a perfect way to end our short stay at Erindi!
