Leopardess Cleo Poses Perfectly for Photos

One of our all-time favourite leopards seen regularly on our traverse is this natural beauty, Cleo, and yesterday during our weekly #livebushfeed game drive, we bumped into her doing what we have seen her do over and over again: resting on a sunny termite mound.

Typically, leopards like to climb trees or recline on anything at a height, and termites certainly fall into that category. Cleo is not bothered by the presence of the Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp vehicles, and allows us to sit and admire her for ages. The late afternoon sun is pleasant at this time of year when temperatures are cooler, and she seemed to be enjoying the last of it before the call of the night gets her up to hunt. Just another fantastic leopard sighting for the books!
