VOYAGES OF DISCOVERY
The Nocturnal Knight!
Serengeti National Park Tanzania
Early one morning, as we were exiting the Mbuzi Mawe Tented Camps in the middle of the mighty Serengeti National Park, we sighted this full grown male leopard perched on a tree. Notice how he is glowering at us who are about 10-15 feet away from him. Continuing to stare us down, he slithers down the tree in true National Geographic style and disappears into the bush. Learn more why the leopard is such a feared adversary by all other animals and man too.

This amazing cat while being a nocturnal hunter is also a superb climber. They can shin up a tree like a monkey often carrying its prey much heavier than its own body weight higher and away from other predators. The Leopard is a recluse and hunts alone. They are fast felines too and can run up to 58 Km per hour.
