Author: Matthias Mugisha - travelling to Primate Lodge Kibale
Published on: Sunday, 20th October 2007 - Uganda

Author: Tom Carter - travelling with his team with Great Lakes Safaris
Published on: Saturday, 23rd November 2002 - USA

The safari van is bumping along a dusty dirt track through the high savannah when driver and game guide Geoffrey Mutuma brings it to a sudden halt. "Something is wrong," he says, intently scanning the surrounding countryside of high grass and acacia trees.
"The kobs are alerting on something. There," he says, pointing. "Spots. A leopard." Sure enough, 50 yards away, slinking around the backside of a large anthill, is a female leopard - her face a fearful symmetry - looking at us looking at her. Read more...
