DUMA TAU: LINYANTI WILDLIFE RESERVE This was our last stop and talk about saving the best for last. Our expectations were exceptionally high as this camp is located on the famed Savuti Channel. Until this year, there had not been any water running in the Savuti channel for 30 years. And best of all, we had the most amazing morning spent with a gorgeous Leopard. The Leopard
This was by far the best leopard sighting I've ever had. Initially, we saw him sleeping peacefully on an open branch 5m above the ground. He woke up and preceded to climb down a branch, saunter beside the vehicle for a minute or two and then climbed up a tree with absolutely perfect lighting. This was the highlight of the entire trip for. What a remarkable cat. Lion Pride
We visited this pride twice, hoping to watch them go after some nearby cape buffalo. They didn't seem too hungry though but we spent enough time to see some socializing and were very lucky to see them drink from the Savuti channel! Birds of Duma Tau
Once again, the birds make the highlight reels. The Little Bee-eater images were taken from the balcony of our lodge as several pairs were hunting, feeding and sharing their prized catch. The swarms (or is that flocks?) of Red-billed Quelea were awe inspiring. Thousands and thousands of the birds would fly over head at sunrise and sunset. When the settle on a tree, it makes quite a site as you can see above. Other Highlights
