Spotted this Monday morning: Mongoose, guar, 45ish year old elephant with huge tusks, early 20s elephant scratching its legs on a dry tree limb! Resting on 3 legs, watching us. Serpent eagle. Blue kingfisher. Wild boar. Painted storks, grey herons, peacocks and pea hens. Deer. Fresh tiger scat. A LEOPARD!!! So glad I went for safari again rather than boat cruise. We were the only jeep to see the cat - they're just as elusive as tigers. Only three of us in the jeep. Word spread fast. We were celebs when we returned from safari. The other two (father and son) have been going to this lodge for 23 years and never spotted a wild cat. They were thrilled. Got some awesome pics.
TRAVELS w/P: TALES OF ADVENTURE HERE & THERE Observations and insights from the Amazon basin in Peru, India's Buddhist shrines and marginalized northern communities, remote Nigerian villages, Rwandan jungles, Ugandan savannahs....
