Spotted: Seven leopards in seven days, thanks to the special eyes of our trackers and rangers here at Londolozi in South Africa. No matter how many we’ve seen before, it’s always exciting because no leopard has the same set of spots – in more than one sense of the word.
Their lineage, behavior and territory is known intimately by the rangers and explained with passion to visitors. As you can tell from the photos below, these animals are truly majestic creatures. But in order to grasp the magnificence of their beauty, one must witness them for his or herself.

LOVE this post! It was actually a trip to Londolozi back in 2000 that originally inspired me to launch Green Global Travel, and the ecotourism ideals espoused by the rangers there that influenced my interest in writing about environmental conservation. I remember very distinctly following one particular leopard for over an hour, living out my wildlife safari dreams for the 1st time. Thanks for bringing back some amazing memories.
Great name and yes, there are some gorgeous wildlife photos from Londolozi and beyond. Thanks for stopping by and keep reading :-) Also visit us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/weblogtheworld and Twitter @weblogtheworld.
