Throwback to Old Avoca male in front with some Giraffe boys in the back.

The majestic lion will always be a symbol of strength & courage. With the current world pandemic, the team at Makanyi Lodge wish you all the strength & courage. United we will overcome it and when we do we hope to see you for an African adventure.

One of the Avoca males drinks deeply from the Manyelethi river after gorging himself on wildebeest meat. This sighting is literally just over the hill from the Londolozi camps… Will the Nkuhuma pride and Avoca males be crossing south over the Sand River soon? The males have done so on a couple of occasions, and the pride is edging closer…

Some Dark Mane footage from the Djuma dam cam today. He was on wildearth today too, munching down on a baby impala.

We later entered a sighting of a very small pride of lions (Marthly/Tsalala Pride), numbering just 2 individuals. We we entertained by the youngster as she played around and stalked her mom as they moved. They eventually stopped as a herd of impalas caught their attention. But with the lions out in the open, their chances was blown after a few of the impalas caught sight of them.
After having a sundowner not too far away from them, we returned to the 2 lions, but this time a herd of zebras had caught sight of them and were alarm calling. While in the sighting, we heard a male lion roaring and so we went in search for him.
Not even 10 minutes later, we bumped into the lion (Northern Avoca - Mohawk) on the road. We were treated to multiple bouts of roaring as his brother replied in the distance. He then walked along the road and caught scent of the 2 individual lions we had seen just before we found him. He began to track their movements with his head planted to the ground.
We followed him for quite some time as he tracked their scent, lost the scent and gained the scent multiple times. It seemed like he would probably take a long time to track them down and so we returned back to camp.
