It was 14h00 and hot and I was not expecting to see much. As I was crossing the Hlaralumi River I noticed a small animal struggling through the grass on the opposite side of the river. My mind was battling to make an identification because size and shape did not correspond with anything logical. Then I realized that it was a leopard cub. Its mother had concealed herself at the sound of my approaching vehicle but in its inexperience the baby was struggling through the grass trying to find its mom. She soon stood up and led the way across the river bed with the cub trailing behind and struggling to catch-up. I suddenly realized that I had a camera in my pocket and managed to get a few photos before they disappeared into the bush.
