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.

Afternoon Drive.

-Went west where we saw two of the Majingilane male lions, just as they got mobile from a day of sleeping and quickly crossed out of our area.

Words cannot even begin to explain my excitement this morning! We headed far north this morning following up on lions roaring in the distance. We eventually found tracks of 2 males crossing onto our traversing area. After some intense tracking we eventually spotted the two large males on the move. I could not believe my eyes when I realised that we had just found the 'Majingilane'.

I have heard and read countless stories about this famous coalition and I have always dreamed of seeing them. They once dominated most of the Sabi Sand and have not come this far east in a very long time.

I don't know what brought them this far but I will treasure the moment I got to meet them forever!!

Yes, it's quite the bold move.

They are moving out of their core territory often now a days.
Recently went to londolozi.
May be making more space between them and rival coalitions..
Hoping that they will rise all Mhangeni cubs to independence as they did last time...
Unfortunately Othawa cubs were lost..

Why would the Majingilane agitate the BBoys? This seems like a death wish for them

Well there confident males you know they have been dominating males for so many years, and also they have the experience and let's just say they manage to get 1 Birmingham, then later on it's a 3 on 3 situation. And if they manage to get 2 Birminghams then the majingilanes are favorites, but it's more likely 1 Birmingham.
