Right. So, hi everyone. Uh this is uh James, one of the guide from Classic Zambia. Uh so, the plan of action will be going out to track for leopard to see whatever we can find. Uh looking this time of the day uh it's a little bit cool, so cats most of the time is now they can start walking and get active. Certain time we can happen to find some sort of action. So, please join me on the safari. Uh this is Kafue National Park. Let's see whatever we can find. So, so this young leopard here. So, the mother is MSF8, uh which is a kinky tail cuz she has got sort of a broken tail. So, their territory they actually hang around uh within this area from the camp all the way up to the new harbor and down to the confluence.
So, they spend much of the time in camp. Even most of the hunting is actually within this area here. I'm sure by next season as we are coming, she'll be sort of a 2 plus years now. Within total we got almost like 18 leopards that we can be able to ID. 18? 18 leopards. Okay. But some of them they still are unknown leopards in this area. Um cuz what happened if we come across a leopard that we don't know, we always take pictures from the whisker spots, the body pattern, if it has got a scar or the cut on the belly or tail and all that. That's how we can be able to ID this leopard.
There's alarm call and a territorial. So the territorial it actually calls like three times with more relaxed. Then the alarm call it calls more than three times with a little bit of a hints and it's very sharp. So during rain season, I remember once we actually open in 1st April. So you find that all these lagoons starting from here cuz it covers almost like 7 km going down south. It covers with lots of water. And by early May somewhere there, we normally do the boating with the guest in the lagoon. On yeah? Yeah. Especially from the camp cuz we normally park the boat by the fireplace by the main area there. Then you can drive the boat all the way to the confluence there.
There's there's a small garden channel that we use. But the water dries up very quickly because of this black cotton soil. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So there's this block that like period woodlands. So once the river gets full from that further down south, the water comes in the lagoon. So if you go in sort of north then we start coming down along that river route. It's good for leopard and those mounds there.
There's another kill right on top there. There's a kill from yesterday. That's a female. It's a MSF five. Even the kill itself is very difficult to see. Because if it was last night I don't think it could have eaten almost that much. Because that impala is quite big. And maybe yesterday early in the morning. Yeah, we'll come back in the afternoon. Find them somewhere not very far from here.
