There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
After starting the morning drive and deciding to head to the south of our reserve, we came across a lot of general game, including some elephants. We carried on and heard on the radio that the Southern Pride female and one of the Gijima males were busy stalking buffalo. We wondered where the two young Southern Pride females were and received confirmation that they were seen not far away. We made our way to the adult lions. They were patiently waiting for the right opportunity. As they followed the buffalo, we kept following which allowed us to have an amazing sighting of them as they moved from one vantage point to the next.
We told our guests about the dynamic of the two lions and how it all fits together and why they are hanging around together. We stayed with them for a while and was hoping to see what they had planned for the buffalo but unfortunately, with it only being the two of them, it would've been a hefty challenge for them to take down a fully grown buffalo, so we decided to turn back and head to Selati Camp for breakfast.
