We consider ourselves lucky every time we see a leopard, as they are the most elusive member of the Big 5 and their solitary, nocturnal lifestyles make them difficult to spot. Fortunately, our traverse in the Klaserie seems to provide the perfect habitat for […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/DSC_5623-370x275.jpg "Leopardess Cleo on the Look Out in Klaserie")

![For most people, it’s a once in a lifetime experience (if that) to witness a leopard land its prey in a successful hunt. These solitary, independent, territorial cats are elusive and careful, and primarily hunt at night, so the chances of catching them making a kill are low. At Umkumbe Safari Lodge, however, one’s chances […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Tatowa-3-370x275.jpg "Leopard Leaps to Kill Impala at Umkumbe Safari Lodge")
