On the afternoon drive yesterday, again with Wayne, I saw two more cheetah. Coco and Spud are a girl and a boy which were part of a group of five cheetah in the rehabilitation program that I followed closely in 2010; at that time, they had only recently been turned out into the park and were still finding their feet, so it was good to see them a couple of years on.
We also tracked down a female leopard called MJ. A smaller cat with a formaidable stare, she is one half of the first litter born at Okonjima.
Last night, just befoe dinner, we watched as Nkozi, a big six-year-old male leopard, strolled across the clearing at the back of the Villa. We were able to track him this morning on the morning drive and found him not far away, where he posed beautifully for the cameras; the drive consisted of me, my dad, two guides and two proffessional photographers who were taking some pictures for brochures etc.
We then found an hyena, who also sat very relaxed, whilst we posed as excited tourists a few metres behind him!
