We drove back to the place where we first saw the dragging marks. We decided to drive around the area and maybe with luck get more clues. As we are driving towards the area, we encounter another vehicle with guests. \u00a0 \u00a0Because we are a \u201cschool\u201d in the reserve, paying guests from a Lodge have the priority to the sighting. We drive a little more and we see another car. \u00a0\u201cJohn\u201d stops the car and asks one of the guides in Afrikaans: &#8211; Good morning. How are you? What are you guys looking for? \u2013 he asked while also saying good morning to the guests. &#8211; Lions! \u2013 the guide answered in Setswana \u201cTau\u2019. \u00a0 \u00a0We use African names so the guests can\u2019t understand us. This is not to hide from the guests but imagine we are searching for a leopard, but the guide tells us the leopard is gone already, and probably we won\u2019t see them. Maybe we will try another animal and return later to see if we can see the leopard. But one of the guests might want to wait 5 hours for the leopard, while the others don\u2019t. In a way to avoid an anger guest or guests, we don\u2019t tell them until we are sure of it. \u00a0 \u00a0The other car with the guests continues and \u201cJohn\u201d turns to us and says: &#8211; Well Lions are in the South of the reserve \u2013 he says while turning back to face us \u2013 all the lodges are sending their guides to look for them. Yesterday the lions dragged the carcase to another side close to the road. They got a Blue Wildebeest. \u00a0 I started to smile. That was my guess. &#8211; Well done Jo\u00e3o \u2013 \u201cJohn\u201d said \u2013 good guess! \u00a0 \u00a0We decided there was no point looking for the lions because we would not have a chance to see them. So, we continue our drive in search of other animals that also deserve our attention. After the drive we return to the camp. \u00a0 \u00a0We had our breakfast\/lunch and then we had some time, like 2 hours before our class. On the other side of the camp, on the other side of the river there is a big \u201cbig\u201d rock. Almost like Lion King style. I discovered a way to get up there. After lunch I grabbed my books and went to the rock. \u00a0 \u00a0Sometimes camp can be very loud, and sometimes you need time for yourself. And that is what I needed. I was missing my family, so I wanted to study alone in the middle of my African bush. \u00a0 \u00a0Right now, you must be wondering who Batman and Robin are. Batman and Robin are two Tree Squirrels that I met in the camp. They are super naughty! They taught me a valuable lesson \u201cnever leave food at the table for 5 minutes\u201d. One day I was studying in the classroom and I was eating some cookies. I went quickly to my tent to grab another pencil. When I returned, Batman and Robin jumped from the table to the nearest tree. They stopped and looked at me. \u00a0 \u00a0I looked at the table and found out that they had eaten all of my cookies! All my \u201cone month stash cookies\u201d gone! I was so angry! I called them everything! I was so mad! No more cookies for me until the end of the course! \u00a0 \u00a0Ok now you know who Batman and Robin are. Back to the day I was at the rock. I was studying on my rock when I noticed that the other students are starting to come out of their tents to come to class. I start to pack my things when I start to hear Batman and Robin alarm calling. \u00a0 \u00a0They were close to me, so I was thinking they were making fun of me. Reminding me of my lost cookies. I didn\u2019t care much. As I get up, they get louder and more frenetic! I start to look around and then I see it. \u00a0 \u00a0A leopard sleeping in the river! Right next to camp. &#8211; Dam! \u2013 I thought &#8211; Now what? \u00a0 \u00a0Leopards like lions sleep 20 hours a day, it will take ages for it to move. I start listening to \u201cJohn\u2019 asking everyone where I was. They have no idea that there is a leopard on the river! I can\u2019t scream because it is quite close to me. \u00a0 \u00a0I hear \u201cJohn\u201d saying: &#8211; Why are the Tree Squirrels so frenetic? Maybe it is a snake! Come guys, let\u2019s see it \u2013 he said while leading everyone down the stairs. \u00a0 \u00a0I couldn\u2019t say anything or do. All I could do was to watch and hope they see the leopard in time. When they arrived at the river \u201cJohn\u201d stopped. He looked at the leopard and looked at me. He then signals me to stay there and don\u2019t move. He led the rest of the students back to the classroom. Photo taken in Kruger. \u00a0 \u00a020 minutes passed and then I start hearing noises behind me. &#8211; Dam! \u2013 I said \u2013 The hyenas couldn\u2019t do it, so they sent the leopard. \u00a0 \u00a0The noise is getting closer and closer, so I start to untie my shoelaces. Then I see \u201cJohn\u201d. My heart felt on my feet. He signals me to not make a sound and to follow him. &#8211; The road is still far so we have to walk a little \u2013 he said while leading me. \u00a0 \u00a0Only when I got to the car I relaxed and breath again. \u00a0 \u00a0I decided for the rest of the course to study in the classroom."}
