RE: Lions of Timbavati - T I N O - 09-11-2020
Stare of a fallen king!
The mighty Black Dam Male who ruled for 5/6 years though the Timbavati,Thornybush and often Klaserie. what a legend he was one of my favourite males, he gained all my respect (as every lion), not only for be considered the largest male in the Greater Kruger area... also by his intelligence!

The Monwana bros are oldest living sons of the Black Dam Male, which died recently after being gored by a buffalo and later caught and killed by the two Monwana males, Basically he died by his same bloodline! JUST WOW.

Has there been any confirmation that he was killed by the Monwana, or is this just more of the confusion that was coming out of there when he died? Thanks!

https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/battle-of-the-klaserie-continues-mabande-vs-trilogy/?fbclid=IwAR1Q_2bLFxugw9wnFaC5DGlV56mE0ZHSREjUp8vWVVddngMSQhw-zSoEyFw
Yesterday we flew in with reports and updates about the Mabande male lion. You remember him? He’s the nomadic male who has spent the past few weeks patrolling and marking new territory. During the course of last week, he had a huge showdown with the Trilogy lions, the dominant males of the area.
So, what’s the latest in the Mabande vs Trilogy saga? Well, Mabande was relaxing close to Buffelsdam and managed to give guests a brief sighting. He even engaged in a bit of rolling back and forth to entertain his onlookers. After his fight with the Trilogy, he went scurrying away but now it appears his confidence his back up. Clearly last week didn’t deter this potential king, who wants the Klaserie and the Ross girls for himself.
Although Mabande lay low for a while, he certainly didn’t go running for the hills. He spends plenty of time patrolling turf, scent marking and covering huge ground. Guests from nThambo Tree Camp have actually spotted him casually strolling past camp. He was also seen just outside the ranger’s block at Africa on Foot.
Is this not a dangerous situation for Mabande? Returning to Trilogy traverse? The absolute brazen attitude of Mabande surely is a sign of a burgeoning and brave leader!
So, after being spotted at Buffelsdam, Mabande subsequently left the area because one of the Ross Pride Breakaway lionesses was contact calling. He moved off in the general direction of the calls. The next sighting was of one of the Trilogy males mating with Ross girls!
The following day, the nThambo team spotted one of the Trilogy males just relaxing by himself. Believe it or not, while nThambo were with the handsome Trilogy male, the Africa on Foot team were observing the Mabande male mating with one of the Ross girls.
It’s getting very risky out there in the Klaserie. The competition for females is strong and you can slice the tension in the air with a knife. Thus far, two males, one turf. Things are inching closer to a battle of the Klaserie – Mabande vs Trilogy.

RE: Lions of Timbavati - T I N O - 09-11-2020
Timbavati update: Interestingly, I have not seen the River Pride once during the entire week. Our local pride seems to have, for some reason, decided to move south and out of our concession for the last few days. I find this rather peculiar as they have moved in the exact direction in which we usually find the Mayambula Pride. Generally, lion prides try and avoid each other. Couple this with that fact that the River Pride has never really gone anywhere near that far south and you end up with a pretty strange situation. All I can hope for, is that these two prides don’t come across each other as this will result in conflict, and I really can’t stomach the thought of losing the last remaining cub to pride rivalry! The Mayambula Pride is at this point a much larger and far more formidable force. We will keep you updated on our social media platforms and let you know as soon as the River pride is spotted again.
