Took to Welgevonden hoping to see this one. We had just stop for a light snack when bushmen and park rangers shouted "leopard, leopard"; we rushed back to the truck and our amazing driver blocked the other vehicules so we could witness this beast come out of the bush. I was at the back of the truck and he walked out in front of me. Soo intense. #lifeatexpedia.
