10th March 2000
Early morning rains, although only a drizzle and won’t be causing any floods, will again mess up the roads restricting our travel. We need a weeks hot dry weather before the area will be dry enough for us to comfortably travel off road again.
Found a cheetah and her 8month old cub on an impala carcass not far from camp. Had probably killed it around midday.
Tjellers had moved the remains of her carcass into another Marula tree some 50m away. No sign of her, but probably lying in the donga close to the kill.
Tjololo made an unexpected appearance in the early morning. He was with a female leopard who seemed to be courting him. Trailing him and he occasionally ambushed her. She persisted after him continuously throwing herself across his path. They seem to have just met up and this could be the start of a period of 4-6 days of mating. The rains came down and with the leopards moving over boggy ground we had to abandon them.
