Tanda Tula update

The heat has led to some lethargic-looking lions, and despite seeing the River Pride regularly this past week, they waited until after sunset before getting active on almost all occasions. The pride wasn’t seen with any kills this week, and it is starting to show on certain pride members, especially the old girl who was looking like she could do with a good meal – nothing to be concerned by just yet, as old lions are usually in this state, but even the younger lionesses were very slender around the waist. The cub and sub-adult are both in good shape, as is the limping male of the Nharus. We didn’t see the third male, so cannot give you an update on his condition this week. Despite it being a tough week for the pride, they are a joy to watch, especially with the little cub always providing good entertainment as she moves from one pride member to another looking for a play partner. It won’t be long until the fourth lioness brings her cubs to the pride, and we caught up with her on a mission a couple of days back as she presumably made her way back to the cubs who are most likely hidden in the Machaton. With the River Pride seldom pushing past Machaton Dam, the Balule lionesses and the Dundee male pushed further east into old River Pride territory on the weekend and were found with a wildebeest kill on the edge of Cheetah Plains with more than a dozen hyenas hoping to get their share of the spoils, but with the Dundee male present, they didn’t get a sniff at the kill. They spent a couple of days in the area before moving back west. There was a report of a lion pride in the west a few days back that may have been the Sark Breakaway Pride, as the Giraffe Pride were still hanging around close to the access gate for the Timbavati on our very western boundary.

Africa on Foot Klaserie update

The big cats have taken most of the limelight and Em’s spent many hours with a few different felines… 
Two of the Vuyela males, one with a female were separated and on a few occasions were seen contact calling to each other at golden hour, this big-cat chorus was heard throughout the week. A true safari sound, you can’t beat bellowing lions at last light.

The Giraffe Pride also made an appearance, but unlike the usual sleeping lion sightings, these encounters were full of action! The dominant male was seen spatting with a younger male in the pride, testing the waters, they were having a good go at each other. Em managed to capture the conflict, and turned this big-cat brawl into beautiful black & white art.

There were barely any updates on them through last 2 years or so so it is hard to tell althrought this newest raport I posted say that one of them mate with lionesses so I assume they either have some pride or are in process of takingover one.

As @Potato said, they where seen with lionesses in Klaserie, so im pretty sure they control some pride there.. They where not seen further in Timbavati for quite some time now.
