Lions of Timbavati

[Potato]

Tanda Tula update

As for the lions, the Sark breakaway Pride did pay us a brief visit last weekend, but the cold conditions got too much for them.  The three members that were present were not in any mood to do anything besides resting off some well-rounded bellies.

Far off in the distance we could hear the Nharhu males roaring, but that was about the only evidence they left for a couple of days before taunting us with tracks roaming across the eastern side of the concession.  Later in the week we awoke to the wonderful sound of the two males roaring just outside of camp and I shot out of bed to go and find them.  As for the River Pride, they were around at the start of the week and found again on the last day, but in between those periods, they remained very elusive.  One of the cubs has an injured back and front paw, but fortunately, it was still mobile enough and hopefully makes a full recovery.  Sadly we didn’t catch up with the cubs again to report further on his condition.  The Giraffe Pride were reported in the far west earlier in the week before being seen crossing into Klaserie.
