Yeah but isn't Osindile NOT an official name? Ist it one of those circumstances of a photographer or a safari person started calling him that?
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Tonpa - 09-06-2022
Yeah it's a Facebook name

There is at least ONE instance. The guide on a WE live called him that. He was apparently scolded for it and he’s refrained for using it again :).
It’s his “social media” name.
I don’t ever understand the commotion and how bent people get with names. I mean is CASPER really a guide/ranger name? Yet it seems widely adopted.
Anyways. I digress. :)
