Return to the Lowveld bushveld and step back onto the gravel tracks of the Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate (HWE). Searching For Spots 2: Leopards Of The Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate is the continuation of Owen Grobler’s journey documenting one of Africa’s most remarkable wildlife phenomena: apex predators thriving alongside a human community.
In this beautiful, full-colour coffee table book, Grobler combines authentic field storytelling, self-deprecating wit, and rigorous research to reveal the intimate lives of HWE’s peri-urban leopards. From a young male casually strolling into a resident’s living room to heart-stopping encounters with black mambas, territorial clashes, and moments of quiet acceptance under the stars, this book captures the true spirit of human-wildlife coexistence.
Every copy sold actively supports the protection of these elusive cats. A portion of the proceeds from Searching For Spots 2 goes directly to Marine Servonat and the INGWE Leopard Research Team, funding ongoing population monitoring, road ecology projects, and human-wildlife conflict mitigation in the Greater Kruger Lowveld region.
