Woke up at about 5 this morning to the birds and monkey’s screaming I opened my eyes just in time to see a leopard jump into the tree right beside out room. I woke Tim up but the leopard had mostly climbed too high for Tim to get a good look all he saw was a shadow. We jumped out of bed to see if we could get a better look but the leopard was out of sight by them. We could hear the baboons and birds giving alarm calls, something jumped on the roof of our room and then onto the boardwalk. But we couldn’t tell if by then it was the monkeys or the leopard. Couldn’t fall back asleep after that. I’m so happy to have been able to see all the big 5 in this trip. Left at about 8:00 this morning after a wonderful breakfast and drove through the Kruger park to get back to camp. Saw a flock of 8 ground hornbills, many many herds of elephants, tons of buffalo and some baby Ostrich. I’d never seen baby Ostrich they were so small and so cute. So sad to have to leave Pafuri I kept hinting to Mark that I wanted to do my placement there but so did everyone else and I don’t think they even take students. Still maybe one day.
