Chapter 16: Big Cat on the Bubye
As if to rub it in, on our penultimate morning in camp, and at about 06hr00 we were sitting by the fire having an early morning coffee, when we heard either a young waterbuck or a wildebeest bleating in distress while being killed in the dense bush beyond the waterhole in front of the camp, and in the vicinity of where we’d hung the ‘free’ impala bait a season prior. Given the amount of noise, I thought it was a lion doing the killing, but that evening we heard a monstrous leopard grunting down at the waterhole, just to the immediate right of my chalet. This went on for a while, before he moved off, grunting all the while, back towards where the morning’s kill had been made, and it was obviously the same big leopard that’d done the early morning killing.
