Any Sort of Cat!

Can you see the Leopard yet?

We couldn't until it came more into view now

How lucky were we to see a Leopard!

Our next part of the safari was to see some Lions at Ishasha and then travel to Bwindi for the Mountain Gorillas. As we left Simba Lodge for the last time, Andy said to Hamid that the challenge today was to see any Cat, even if it was a domestic cat! Hamid had been so good with the animal sightings, that he was up for the challenge!

We firstly went back to the part of QEP that we had on the first day. We drove around for quite a long time before we accepted defeat. Just as we had started to leave, Hamid slammed on the brakes and started pointing at a Cactus tree. Hamid had spotted a Leopard! But we couldn't see it at first! Hamid grabbed our camera and started taking photos for us. We saw it eventually as it started to leave the tree, Wow!

We stayed there a while just looking at it before it disappeared into the bushes below the tree. Another tourist vehicle came along and stopped. They asked us what we were looking at. They nearly fell off the roof of their vehicle when we told them it was a Leopard.

We continued on, heading for the Tree Climbing Lions of Ishasha. Would we be so lucky and get a sighting of a Lion?
