Lions of Timbavati

[Tshokwane]

Quote:What is Timbavati?

Based off my limited knowledge because, after all, I don't live there, Timbavati is a private reserve, like the others from which we post info. It is to the north of the Sabi Sands reserve and it's connected to the Kruger park, but I don't think it's inside the Kruger.

Quote:Is kruger and Timbavati the places where they allow canned hunting and sell their lions to other places?

If so, why are these places allowed to do this?

I am aware that hunting happens in Timbavati, possibly also in the Kruger. I guess the reason for it is profit, possibly by the ones that run the place. But I don't really know for certain.

Quote:Is it just a private reserve and they inbreed their white lions and ship them to the states or other facilities?

Now, I do not think they sell the wild lions, white or not, to zoos and other places. 

But, it may be possible that the animals you saw came from places that are called "farms" where they raise lions, maybe to sell them and/or to used them to practice that canned hunting. Reply
