This incredible story filmed over 3 years documents the life of a beautiful leopard, Olimba, and her cubs who are no strangers to our Tena Tena & Nsefu Camp teams as Olimba has made this area her home. We also hosted the filmmakers at Nsefu Camp for the duration of the filming.

Over the years many of you have also had encounters with 'our' Olimba while staying at Tena Tena or Nsefu Camp. We would love to hear about them so please feel free to leave a comment below or share a picture.
