The dawn is just breaking in Lower Sabie and the scent of blood is palpable
The wild dogs and hyena are prowling circling a patch of thicket
The leopard emerges from the scrub in all her majesty
She had earlier stolen the impala kill from a lion but he had retrieved the prey.
The leopard tempts fate and tries to steal the impala again.
In her effort to retrieve the kill we witness the spectacular and terrifying event of the lion standing his ground against the leopard. We are within metres of this fast and furious attack. The lion takes chase and they are lost from our sight.
The following day both leopard and lion had returned to the scene with the leopard reportedly carrying deep scratch wounds to her head
