The return of Chavaluthu to Pondoro Safari Lodge concession

The young male leopard Chavaluthu has been having a terrible time as he is surrounded by 3 big territorial male leopards namely Cheeky Boy, Tintaka and Watsakile. He disappeared and settled more towards the east of our concession area probably regarding Tintaka as his biggest threat and decided to take his chances in Cheeky Boy’s territory who is also the youngest of the three. Luckily for us it seems as if he wants to make a 2nd try in establishing a territory in our concession and he has been back and seen regularly for the last week or two. Long may he stay as he is a favorite of all the guides due to his fearless nature. Here are a few photos taken of him while enjoying life close to his impala kill.
