In the wild safari if you don’t stay calm or wait for the light to brighten up, you will be eaten, bravo 9 beautifully located just 7 kilometers away from alpha 4 known as Molatedi gate, as you about to approach Jaci’s Lodges there is about 70 meters driving up and down steep, there rest a five star lodge with two different lodges, Jaci’s Safari Lodge and Jaci’s Tree Lodge.

Compared to daily game drives whereby the usually suspects turn to rise and shine with the sun and guests are able to see them, the is one skittish cat that always hide between rocks or climb up the trees to disguise itself, the only thing that makes a camera interesting is lenses but again what you see before you and can relate the story, then the photograph is correct.

Apart from having emotions or moods, all living things have a life.

In the wild, people visit to observe the behavior of certain wild animals, the running, the killing even the eating, it’s unusual to have an emotional touch to the wild for a young man of my age, but this was not meant to turn out this way.

A spotted cat as many call it, is very special to South African cultures, and as an African child who grew up with emotional love for this cat, I knew inside of me the was a king, because I never favored lion kingdom, I always thought a Leopard was the rightful king.

Joshua had his guests experiencing one last game drive on a bang, they were impressed on the first day until to the last day, and that’s what Jaci’s gives you, that much experience with well trained and fun people to work with.

A leopard named Monye, one of the most relaxed leopards in Madikwe Game reserve apart from Tsala, red channel was booming with standbys, Josh fought to get a standby and after several minutes of calling on the radio, our vehicle was on number 3 standby.

Despite knowing what was happening, Joshua kept the guests in suspense, at the back of his mind he had wishes to fulfill and a record to break, on their first drive each made a wish and by the time we got out of the gate, three guests had their wishes becoming reality.

But the was one wish that was left to be completed  although it was impossible, a return guest had once seen a leopard climbing a tree with a kill in the same game reserve, but this time it felt like a deja vu and once more David had a time of his life.

Monye was dragging a dead impala up the tree, everyone in the vehicle could not believe what they were seeing, on David’s face there was a satisfied smile that meant a good drive, and on my face was tears of joy, I finally came to meet the Monye I was told stories about.
