Today is #internationalleopardday 🐆 We love leopards so much that we dedicated an article to them on our website under our new safari section for you to celebrate and learn more about them!

Day 6 in the African bush: relaxing at sunset for sundowners with our EcoTraining instructor after taking our tracker exam... we identified more than 40 tracks and spotted some more wildlife 🦁🐒🐗🦂🦓🐘! Did we pass and get our FGASA certificates? Swipe right... 🐾🐾🐾

Day 5 in the African bush: here they are!! 3 beautiful young male lions have been playing hide & seek with us. We eventually won 🤗 and feel so privileged to have encountered these big cats and their protective mother after tracking their tracks in the sand for a few days. Tomorrow is exam day to become trackers... A last lecture by @normans_adventure_in_nature at the camp between a few swims in the Selati River. Exciting! We will be publish a full-length article about this adventure on our website so make sure to drop your e-mail address and stay tuned!

Day 4 in the African bush: we haven’t seen the lions yet, but we heard them at night (did you know that the roaring could be heard up to 8km (5.5miles) away?). Studying here in the EcoTraining Selati Camp in the Greater Kruger for my upcoming tracker exam... Super interesting & can’t imagine a better classroom!! Even though we get distracted at times (swipe right to see this gorgeous nyala bull paying a visit!). After another great bush walk this morning, I’m already looking forward to the sunset game drive...

Day 3 in the African bush: they were right! Lion tracks 🤗 With the guidance of our wonderful EcoTraining instructor and senior tracker @normans_adventure_in_nature , I’m studying the tracks closely to get an idea of when the lions passed by, at what pace, and if we can get a chance to find them... So far, I can tell apart the spoors of the lioness and lions. Pretty awesome. This morning, we have already identified tracks of hyenas, a leopard, a hippo, elephants and even a rhino! Exciting!!

Day 2 in the African bush: exhilarating to drive the 4x4 Land Rover in the Selati private game reserve, in the greater Kruger Park! Sitting behind the wheel, scanning the bush for wildlife, and looking for tracks in the sand... just another day in the office for safari guides, and for me, a wonderful adventure (not sure my passengers shared the same excitement as they decided to hop out of the car to look for tracks when I started driving😉🤣). They may have spotted lion tracks though... stay tuned!
