DULINI - DAY 2 (CONTINUED)

The second part of Day 2 at Dulini was a fascinating day.  A long day but worth every moment

On the evening drive we stumbled upon this female Leopard.

She was eating a male Impala that she did not catch. (the guide somehow knew)

She was continually on the lookout for the "owner" of the catch.

It was not long before the "owner" returned, a large male Leopard that walked within a metre of our vehicle.  He was not happy that his catch had been eaten by the female who quickly departed when he approached.  He then started to follow her but we lost them in the bush.  They would either fight or mate - we think the latter occurred.

Now where has she gone?

We were then driven to a clearing in the bush, and this is what we came across. The staff at the lodge had taken all the tables, BBQ's, lanterns, food etc. etc. from the lodge and set it all up under the trees.   The beer was cold, the wine never ending, and the meal superb.  Kudu, chicken, pork spare ribs, and heaps of vegetables and salads.  Three courses as usual with soup and sweets. Wow, what a night! 

How we will get up at 5.00am is hard to imagine after this feast.

A perfect setting on a balmy evening under the stars.
