Lunch under a Leopard Tree

 On our last day, Joab ordered a picnic breakfast so we would not have to come back in to eat. He wanted to make sure we had time to find whatever we wanted to see and combined two Safari's into one trip out in the savannah. Though he searched a long time in Rhino country and looked through cheetah territory, those were the animals that we never did see. But lots of cape buffalo, elephants, giraffes, zebras, antelope and a pride of lions.

We got quite attached to our group and guide and did not want to switch up with the other group.

Joab showed us the little shin bone of antelope from a leopard's dinner

That dangling "branch" in the middle actually has a tiny hoof attached.


Joab set us up on top of a hill with a tree that had a thin leg dangling from. It was a leopard's tree, though not a the present. He told us about setting up a group one time for a picnic lunch while looking for leopards. That hadn't had any luck that day. Just as they were finished up lunch, a leopard jumped out of the tree their picnic was under startling everyone. Joab says he looks long and hard anytime he sets up a picnic under any tree now.
