Heading on from the S25 and up the S108 we decided to detour up via the S26 and S102 to Mpondo Dam as we had never been there before. The roads up were quiet, but we were greeted by some terrapin at one of the dam overflow ponds
The dam itself is huge - much bigger than we had been expecting! There was a mix of game including impala, waterbuck, wildebeest and zebra dotted around which made for a nice peaceful scene.
Heading back past the end of the dam we saw some spotted movement in a tree
This appeared to be quite a young leopard - we heard that later in the day it was seen wandering along nearer the dam with its mom. With no-one else around we just enjoyed watching the youngster and its inquisitive nature
It got up to shift to a slighting better vantage point
It fairly soon settled and started to lie down and snooze which gave very little view
Heading back to Lower Sabie, the terrapins were smiling, there was a big elephant hiding, and a couple of white-headed vultures showing off their full crops
