Starting one morning drive to Passage water hole, we heard the jackals alarm calling, it sounded a little far away. We looked around for them, and tried to see what they were alarming at, but did not manage to locate them. Later in the afternoon we headed out on drive again and found the lion at the waterhole by the camp. Whilst watching him, we heard the jackals calling from the same area again, and this time managed to locate them, and find also a female leopard with a kill. She had taken down a springbok, and had fed a little on it. After watching her for a while, we continued on with our drive, only to stop 100m away when we found her cub watching us! Both animals were very relaxed, so it was a lovely sighting.
The two male lions are spending long periods at the camp waterhole, and rarely seem interested in any of the prey that moves down to drink. They are looking fat and full bellied, and are obviously catching feeding away from the waterhole, and hunting at night. They were joined from time to time by a female.
A few sightings of the brown hyena this month, but as one guide mentioned: the brown hyenas never stop, they see you, they run away.
