Honestly, I was so gutted I could have cried! However, later on that day, we were in a different area of the reserve and guess what our guide spotted?! .A leopard laying on a branch in the sunshine! He looked right at us for a brief moment and then went straight back to relaxing, with his legs dangling on each side of the branch. A perfect end to the day.
I absolutely loved my time volunteering at the project and would highly recommend it to any animal lovers or people interested in research and conservation."
