Tanda Tula update
With the River Pride moving east, the vacuum they left behind was quickly filled by the Sark Breakaway Pride, which ventured deeper into the Timbavati than ever before. This was great news for us, as it meant the pride centered their activities around Tanda Tula. The 16 members provided near-daily sightings, especially in the latter half of the month.

The Mayambula Pride appears to have had a couple of new litters under the custodianship of the Vuyela males. Though we didn’t see the cubs directly, we saw signs of at least a handful moving around the southeastern sections. The Vuyela males remained active beyond our borders and into Kruger National Park, but we caught up with them during their territorial patrols after the rains.

The Giraffe Pride was far more active in the western sections this month, and we spotted 13 members on several occasions—most notably after they took down an adult giraffe, which kept them well-fed for days. The Birmingham Breakaway males and some members of the Giraffe Pride were regularly reported in close proximity to one another. However, with such great lion activity closer to Tanda Tula, we seldom ventured west to see them.

Separate sightings that took place recently from what I could find.

sandringhamreserve
The Sandringham Black Dam Pride was spotted once more on the reserve, with just one older male and, of course, the young white lion among the pride members. They relaxed near a waterhole, occasionally shifting into the shade, and it was clear that all were in excellent condition.

Really good update from WildEarth.
If some of you are not aware WildEarth is leaving Djuma as the lease is not renewed with the owner as the owner would like to lessen the human footprint in the property but still really thankful for them for giving us wildlife enthusiast the chance to view wildlife from afar for many years years.

This sounds even better than what they were already doing tbh, great news!

Black Dam pride
Face structure wise, in my personal opinion big young male looks like Mapoza male.

Fixed it for you, my friend. There is a tutorial, in the tutorial section, on how to embed these YT Shorts videos, here:

RE: Lions of Timbavati - Ttimemarti - 02-15-2025
Can we try to settle this once and for all with all the recent news on the black dam pride I’ve heard that the xikukutu males are sons of the Ross males and the old avoca/giraffe males who are their fathers?
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Mwk85 - 02-15-2025
Poor fella, lol

Personal opinion, they are more likely offspring of Avoca / Giraffes, most notably white face from what I’ve seen of him. I think he was one of the last members to mate with the Avoca females, which was in the timeframe that the lionesses would have conceived. Even if they were sired by Ross males, they’d still be distantly related through their natal pride to Avoca / Giraffes but if u looking for a certain answer, u won’t get one and anyone who does claim to have a definitive answer is lying.
