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.

They have been seen close to H3 road, near Skukuza, i will try to find more info of them.

 At the end of all this male was not one of the Nwaswitshaka as he does not match any of the members of the coalition.. while he does match one of the young Mpondo/Renosterkoppies males, sons of the Mpondo males
this is the S21 male right??

Yes, It's one of the S21 males. However, If I'm not mistaken. He isn't older brother of the N'waswitshaka males. There are a few pics of the older brothers of the four N'waswitshaka males.

Yea, thats s21 male. 

2 Older Nwaswitshakas where last seen with Renosterkoppies male (known as nomadic Renosterkoppies male) in mid to late 2018 around S1 and territory of Charleston males, no sightings of them since as far as I know..

Its truly sad how many lions disappeared in that area of S1/Phabeni Gate over the years without a track...

2 older Nwaswitshakas and Renosterkoppies male, 2 Mhangeni males in 2018, ShyBoy, lately 2 Talamatis and Southern male, 2 DeLaporte males and 2 Mpondo males, all disappeared without a clue in that area in past 3 years..

That's very depressing to know, yes. That's why I am worried about Othawa breakaway males being there, no confirmed sightings in over 2 months now. Hopefully they have moved on to other area, safer area by now, tho

I couldn't be more agree. As far I remember, the Kruger National Park has some regions within the park in which tourist can't go. Without go to long. Mlondozi in the Kruger National Prk is one of those regions. I heard that the tourists hardly go there since isn't possible to get in. I checked the map now, and just under Pretoriukop area is a big wilderness area where I assume tuorist can't get it, same for any kind of humans activity. That's good, But quite worrying at the same time due to the recent poaching incident that happened in the S118 road, And the S118 is a fairly busy road!!
