The reserve is home to an abundance of wildlife including kudu, eland, hyena and giraffe to name a few. While some of the leopards are collared for the purpose of research, they all roam freely and hunt their own prey. Heading out in an open 4x4 game vehicle with an experienced guide and tracker offers guests an incredible experience to get close to these elusive cats. Tracking leopards in such vast landscapes can be challenging and even with experienced guides, sightings are not always guaranteed but this just adds to the anticipation.
