Absolutely amazing to be at the right place, at the right time, and ready to video! WOW! Right in camp! I guess everyone has now started going to be before dark and watching over their shoulder!
Obviously that leopard has no compulsions or fears regarding the proximity of homosapiens. That could prove to be problematic in the future. BTW dittos on the timing.
I stayed in that bungalow to the back left of frame. That log structure in foreground is steps to get in/out of the cruiser.
Its crazy for Leopard in daylight sightings right up next to the car. Had 5 different cats in one day, including on a Impala kill just yards away in a tree.
After dark you call for escort to traverse the grounds. Had a cat try for a Nyala but miss overnight when there. There are several more YouTubes with kills on their grounds, one is out the kitchen door. Another is on a drive where Warthog is taken by Leopard, killed by Hyena stealing it, and both sharing the meal; Look for "Rob the Ranger" videos, hes head guide for Idube and posts lots of clips.
To the east on Djuma their 2x a day YouTube live drive often show kills in real time streamed. Amazing place for cats all over the Sabi Sands.
Here's a photo of Tony receiving that Shaw & Hunter award at the 1970 annual EAPHA Dinner Dance. Tony Dyer, then EAPHA President and Princess (Sunny) von Auersperg presented it. I also attended the event.
