This video shows our Amur Leopard mum, Xizi, with her 13 week old cubs. The cubs are getting bigger and stronger now and are always on the lookout for mischief to get into! You can see in this video that in their play fights they are getting a little rougher with each other. It is lovely to see after they have played so madly that they cuddle up and go to sleep together, normally outside in their tree house, and not so often with their mum in the main house.


The Big Cat Sanctuary is set in the heart of the countryside at Smarden, in Kent. The peace and tranquillity of the site provides a sanctuary and excellent conditions for the successful breeding of the beautiful, yet endangered cats both large and small within the European Endangered Species Breeding http://www.whf.org.uk

It has been an emotional day for safariLIVE as we bid the Mara adieu, for now. David composed, wrote and performed his tribute to the Mara this morning and we all felt his emotional connection to this most astounding place. We would like to extend our most heartfelt thank yous and goodbyes to the Kenyan crew that made the Mara possible.

To our favourite Kenyan naturalist, David, your charisma, sense of humor and expert knowledge will be sorely missed.

To the camera operators Archie, Manu, Bungei and James, your stunning imagery, expert skill and precise composition never made any landscape more beautiful.

To the tech team, Edwin and Martin, who fiercely fought the technical gremlins, we salute you for your never-give-up attitude and stoic dedication to making our Mara feeds possible.

To the production team, Lucy and Kefa, without your fine examples of leadership, hard work and determination we would not have been able to produce such an incredible safari experience.

To the camp staff, our filming crew could not have managed all of their greatness if it were not for the delicious food, excellent maintenance and detailed housekeeping.

We wish all of you the very best for your new adventures. We'll see you all soon!
