http://leopardsview.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 29, 2012. Return of the Eles. Ezulwini and three smaller bull elephants emerging from the early morning mist. Regular readers of our blog will remember Soshangane and Ezulwini visited the waterhole a couple of weeks ago. This week they were back again accompanied by three young bull elephants. We first became aware of them on Tuesday night as we were sitting around the fire after dinner. One of the smaller elephants. It was a magical sight. Ezelwini enjoying a branch from his favourite.

Leopard's View Game Lodge: Wild dogs seen from the deck
http://leopardsview.blogspot.com/2013/04/wild-dogs-seen-from-deck.html
Sunday, April 14, 2013. Wild dogs seen from the deck. Ten days ago some guests had an amazing sighting seen from the deck of the lodge. The weather was dreadful, cold and rainy, which was good for the bush but not so much fun when you are viewing game. Our guests were very dedicated game viewers and their determination paid off when they were treated to the sight of three wild dogs chasing an impala right next to the small bird bath just below the decks. Photo taken by our guest Zhao Weo.

Leopard's View Game Lodge: Marula Feast
http://leopardsview.blogspot.com/2013/02/marula-feast.html
Tuesday, February 19, 2013. This year we have had a bumper harvest of marula fruits from the marula trees around the lodge. This tree dominates the landscape here in our area of Balule, with its beautiful patterned trunk and its leafy canopy, which gives excellent shade. Past guests will be able to visualise the tree by the swimming pool which is a male marula tree. Interestingly, each tree has a specific gender – the female one bearing the fruits and the male one flowers only. The myth of elephants gett...

Leopard's View Game Lodge: Did you forget to shut the gate?
http://leopardsview.blogspot.com/2013/04/did-you-forget-to-shut-gate.html
Wednesday, April 3, 2013. Did you forget to shut the gate? Visitors to Leopard’s View will know that we do not have an electric fence around the lodge, but only a small wooden picket fence built early in our time here to keep the browsers out of the lodge gardens; in particular, the duikers, who are very common in our area and will eat anything. The piles of dung around the paths and the damage to the plants and fence showed who the culprit was! The elephant had arrived around. As we arrived two minutes ...

Leopard's View Game Lodge: Views of a leopard from the camera traps
http://leopardsview.blogspot.com/2013/03/views-of-leopard-from-camera-traps.html
Saturday, March 23, 2013. Views of a leopard from the camera traps. The camera traps continue to bring in some exciting and unusual pictures, and at last, we have caught on film the most elusive of our visitors, the leopard. Both locations, at the large waterhole and the bird bath we had a very good view of the individual animal. In the case of the leopard at the bird bath it was the white tip of the tail which was the first clue to what we had caught on camera. Nusual close-ups views of the animals like...

Leopard's View Game Lodge: Elephants caught on camera
http://leopardsview.blogspot.com/2013/02/elephants-caught-on-camera.html
Sunday, February 10, 2013. Elephants caught on camera. The waterhole camera trap is proving to be a marvellous tool for helping us to keep track of the animals that come to visit the waterhole. Since we have had it up and running from just before Christmas we have recorded some fantastic sights, many of which we would have missed because they happen very early in the morning, in the middle of the night or because we just do not happen to be watching at that time. Notice the size of the waterhole. There h...
