Excerpt from SAVUTI CAMP Newsletter:
Imagine a pair of cheetah making a kill four days in succession, then another after a day's break. First an ostrich, followed by warthog, kudu, warthog and lastly another warthog. Yip, the warthog community took a knock this month. The most spectacular sighting right outside the camp watched by all our guests was of the DumaTau male leopard who was seen taking it easy up in the shade of the beautiful Bird Plum tree within sight of camp. A family of warthogs en route to the pan passed beneath the tree attracting the attention of the leopard who came down, put in a spectacular charge and successfully caught the mother. One of the babies kept coming back within metres of the leopard with its mother seemingly trying to urge her to get away. One of the guests who had been taking copious amounts of pictures did not take any of this event - he was in a state of despair over the warthog. The following days saw the complete cycle of the kill ending with the vultures, eagles and not to forget, the ants.
