7th May 2000
There’s a little water on the roads but the rains haven’t really set us back this time.
Tjololo was back from his travels into Kruger and keeping control of his territory with a “squirt” here and another there. Most of the areas are traversable off road but last night he spent quite some time moving through seep after seep, while we looped the loop intercepting him the other side of each seep.
On one of these loops, impala snorting alerted us that Tjololo had done another dirty deed. We found him strangling a young impala. After feeding he treed the kill and only about an hour later did a hyaena arrive, too late, having to make do licking blood off the grass.
The rest of the night proved quiet with Tjololo having no other disturbances.
At dawn as he moved south along the Sand river calling and salivating we heard another male leopard calling on the opposite bank. Their calls carried on parallel and eventually both leopards moved away from the river in opposite directions.
