Mbuyu ya tobo 2/9/2011

Everyday we pass in front of a big baobab. It is completely hollow and
actually we can also walk inside. Quite cool!
Today the baobab had a surprise for us... a young female leopard was
resting in the fork of the main branches... she is the daughter of the
resident female of mbagi and she is now on her own. She roams the same
area and is very relaxed with us.
The baobab is so big that the cat almost disappear in the branches but
she is wonderful and her beauty definitely shines.
We stayed there long time but then our stomachs claimed lunch.
In the afternoon we first ignored her and went for our drive but then
we ended up there around 5.30... she was still there... her head stuck
between two huge branches, lazyly looking down.
After some times she moved on top of the tree and eventually walked
down again to a lower branch checking out some impalas and helmeted
guineafowls. She was now streched perfectly on a branch... a perfect
view.
As the sun was setting the light became super.... the sight so
beautiful that it felt a sin to talk and make any single noise.
In the end the sun set, we moved so to have it just behind the spotted
cat.... adding beauty to beauty... no words are good enough.
