Wildlife Wednesday: Leopard Feeding
During my incredible safari experience, our group was fortunate to witness a fascinating encounter in the wild. A magnificent leopard was feasting on a warthog, showcasing the raw beauty of natureโs circle of life. While we missed the initial chase and capture, we managed to track down the leopard as it indulged in its meal amidst the tall grass.

If you find such scenes distressing, I advise against playing the video. My aim is to portray the wonders and realities of the animal kingdom with respect and admiration for these remarkable creatures.

Umkumbe Safari Game Drive Highlights
Our first South African safari at Umkumbe Safari River Lodge was an unforgettable adventure. The lodge is nestled near Kruger National Park in Sabi Sands Game Reserve, where the wild roams free due to the unfenced boundaries. Over three thrilling days, we witnessed all of the Big 5โlion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffaloโand I captured three of them on video. The rest of the Big 5 were immortalized in images at our next camp.
Getting to Umkumbe was a breeze, thanks to a quick flight from Joburg to Skukuza Airport and a seamless transfer to the lodge. During our transfer, we spotted a wide variety of animals, from elephants to lions, thanks to our driverโs sharp eyes and willingness to stop so we could take photos and videos. Our timely morning arrival allowed us to enjoy a delicious lunch before embarking on our first afternoon game drive.
The lodgeโs riverside location provided a front-row seat to a procession of wildlife quenching their thirst and grazing on the riverbanks. From our roomโs patio, we were mesmerized by the parade of elephants, giraffes, impalas, monkeys, and hyenas, setting the tone for an extraordinary trip.
After our exceptional stay at Umkumbe, we moved on to our next camp (nThambo Tree Camp), which Iโll detail in upcoming posts. Then, we ventured towards the water for the highly anticipated annual Sardine run. Trust me, Iโll get back to my underwater images soon!

Images From My First Safari
We planned a scuba diving trip to observe the annual sardine run off the coast of South Africa. Before we began the sardine run, we decided to spend a week on safari. This allowed us to see some of the fantastic wildlife that South Africa is home to, such as lions, elephants, and rhinos.

Our safari adventure began at the enchanting Umkumbe Safari Lodge, where the allure of the wilderness greeted us with open arms. Little did we know that the universe had an abundance of surprises in store for us. Within the first two days of our safari, we were blessed with the extraordinary privilege of encountering the โBig 5โ โ the ultimate safari dream come true!
AdvertisementsAs we made our way from the airport to the lodge, we were already graced with the majestic presence of two of the Big 5, leaving us eager and excited for what lay ahead. But the highlight of our entire safari experience was an awe-inspiring sighting of a magnificent pride of lions. The moment was indescribable; their regal posture and powerful presence stirred something deep within us.
From the graceful gazelles to the majestic elephants, and from the elusive leopards to the mighty lions, the safari was an enchanting exploration of Africaโs diverse and captivating fauna. Our days were filled with awe and wonder, as we observed these magnificent creatures in their natural habitats, leaving us with cherished memories that will forever hold a place in our hearts.

@Giselle I'm sure that the U.S. crafting community, when voting for Trump, didn't think this would happen. However...
"On Friday, the company announced it had sold its US division, IG Design Group Americas (DGA), which owns the sewing pattern brands, to Hilco Capital, a liquidation firm. IG Design Group cited the impact of tariffs imposed by the US as a factor. Over 50% of DGAโs products are manufactured in China, although the sewing patterns are made in the US."

โSteven Borrelli, founder of fashion brand Cuts Clothing, voted for Donald Trump in 2016, 2020 and 2024. He backs the US presidentโs controversial plan to use sweeping tariffs on imports to boost the economy. But he also wants a rethinkโฆ
โEvery day this continues, more businesses will fail,โ he warned last week in a public plea... โI trust him to do the right thing,โ Borelli said. โI just hope he knows he needs to do it fast.โโ
I feel bad only for his employees.
A camouflaged snow leopard is hard to spot in Tibet. Known as the king of the snow mountains, the leopards number less than 6,000 in the wild.
