Site featured in Preview 3: Nkwe
Nkwe is the tshwana word for leopard. All over Shayamanzi the leopards have left tracks, also on the Nkwe plain. Nkwe is a large plain with a couple of big trees and a natural dam that keeps water in the rainy season. On this plain is where most game cross from the plains in the south to the plains and hills in the north and vice versa. The leopards are familiar with the route and as opportunistic hunters they try their luck there where the prey is abundant.

Video Length: 4min 17sec [Please be patient while video loads]
Today, even the arrogant warthog boar is afraid of the 5 blue wildebeest. During the past few days it certainly was not the case. The wardhog crawls closer, on his knees he begs. A wildebeest chases him away again. He doesn't give up and tries again, but this time openly from the front. Extremely appologetic he lies on his stomach crawling closer and closer. His family sees how well he is doing and decides to join in. The herd of wildebeest must feel sorry for the warthog family and allow them to continue, but only if they know their place.

Site featured in Preview 4: Witsand

For this reason Witsand is a busy visiting point for the game. This is also a popular release site for leopards...
