A Cape Leopard was caught drinking water at Lourensford Estate, in the Western Cape.
This is a rare find, as leopards are elusive predators.
They are also vital in the ecosystem of the Helderberg mountains.
Owners of the Farm said “we’re proud to be a sanctuary not just for visitors seeking great wine and unforgettable views — but also for some of nature’s most secretive and majestic creatures.”
In March, the farm’s cameras also caught bokkies (small antelope) roaming the slopes. They were named Ntombi (female) and Somila (male).

Hitch hiker genet in Hluhluwe-Mfolozi Park
A hitch hiker genet was caught by camera traps several times on big mammal’s backs.
Wildlife ACT works closely with Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, to monitor animals in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park.
A genet is often caught on a buffalo’s back, and recently, on a rhino’s back too.
A volunteer said “What’s even more bizarre, is that the same particular genet has a habit of hitch hiking on other larger beasts and the the rhino, seemed an ideal taxi service!”
