Cheetahs spotted at Lebala
^{posted in Botswana Safaris on Thursday, October 1, 2009}

The three brother Cheetahs that repeat guests will know well have been spotted several times again this month. On one occasion they were tracked hunting Impala during the day not far from the old airstrip. On another a successful kill was made on the small Steenbok antelope.

Leopards and Lions have also been common visitors to the Lebala area. The two dominant males are often sighted patrolling their territory or lazing under thick-canopied trees.

Huge breeding herds of Elephants are now dominating the Lebala floodplains now that all of the Mopane pans have finally dried up in the forests. The Elephants have migrated to the permanent waters and can often be seen swimming and drinking in the water channels.

Night drives have also produced some interesting sightings –  hunting Wild Cats and Servals are often seen stalking close to the floodplains providing wonderful photographic opportunities for guests!
