"We found the Golonyi female on top of a termite mound. Of the [--] large African carnivores the leopard only outranks the cheetah. Not only lion but all three hyena species outweigh the leopard as well as wild dogs. #leopard #carnivores #bigcats #big5"

"Driving along the Msuthlu riverbed the morning sun peeked through the Fig trees along the riverbed and four big male giraffes appeared. They gracefully walked past leaving us in awe of their grandeur and brief presence. #giraffe #journey #wildbeauty"

"From the first time you see the Golonyi female you will not forget her piercing green eyes. At Sabi Sabi we get to know the individual leopards and not only does each leopard have an individual spot pattern but they also have their own personality. #leopard #wildphotography"

"As the sun started setting we made a last loop before stopping for sundowners. We made our way to one of the watering holes and to our surprise the Southern Pride had the same idea. We sat watching these incredible females before heading off. #safari #sunset #lionpride"

"An afternoon venture to the last known location of Golonyi proved successful when she was found lounging on the branches of a Jackalberry tree waiting for an opportunity to take back her meal which was stolen by two hyena. #leopard #predator #hyena"

"Ranger Ruan and his tracker Themba took a short walk into a drainage line to try and locate the Makumu male leopard. As they continued they heard a soft growl when the leopard appeared before laying down in a shady spot. #leopard #dominant #predator #safari"

"We found this young male cheetah taking comfort in a big Marula tree to get a better vantage point to scout his surroundings. It's not common seeing cheetahs in a tree this high and this morning's sighting was truly spectacular - a first for many of us. #cheetah #predator"

"We spent some time with a breeding herd of elephants and this individual was stripping the thin cambium layer (located just under the bark) to access the xylem and phloem layer in the cambium (which assists in transporting water minerals and food throughout the plant). #nature"

"While tracking lions on a misty morning we stumbled upon a crash of White Rhinos huddled together for some extra warmth. The parallel lines of the backs and the contrast in colour between individuals made for a beautiful sight of these magnificent animals. #rhino #wildlife"

"Trees filled with vultures drew our attention and we found an old male lion resting with a full belly. We suspect this to be a once dominant king that has come into conflict with other lions and pushed out of his territory by younger males. #lion #mane #apexpredator"

"We were spoiled to see how this pangolin used its excellent self-defence technique of rolling into a ball exposing its rock-hard scales to lions who tried their best but couldn't succeed in opening or breaking the scales. This pangolin survived to live another day. #safari"

"Rising over the African landscape the long awaited super blue moon. At its closest point to Earth the Moon was observed at 14% larger than usual. It was the second full moon within [--] calendar month known as a 'blue moon'. The result is what is called a #superbluemoon"

"This young male #cheetah chased a group of warthogs but with no success. He carried on into the thickets not the ideal habitat for him but it all paid off as we suddenly heard the distress call of a duiker. We made our way to the area and found him suffocating the antelope"
