Never underestimate the work of wildlife film crews



The temperature in Luangwa is normally really comfortable for people and for cats in June, but when we were lucky enough to see Olimba's cub hunting stork hatchlings it was a scorching day.

We first saw the Steenkamps early in the morning, sat in direct sun filming the perilously perched leopard's every move. 

They were still there at 4pm when the Leopard finally came down full from (if not sick of) her day gorging on stork hatchlings. 

The couple stay at Nsefu camp run by Robin Pope safaris and without a doubt their day in the furnace of the stork colony would have justified more than a couple of cold beers on their return later that evening.
