"Limpopo-Lipadi was my 3rd voluntary project working in African game reserves/National Parks and I went there really hoping it would be 3rd time lucky for seeing a leopard as I had never seen one before.
One morning our guide found a very fresh track of a leopard dragging an impala. We followed it through the bush and all that time I could hardly contain my excitement and was thinking we were going to see a leopard at any moment.
But when we got to the end of the track we found the dead impala at the bottom of a tree but the leopard had gone.
