Another find was the relocation of the Nharhu males that appear to have found a second pride to take care of. It’s a small pride of two lionesses that first showed up when the male lions set off from Machaton Dam and came across them only to chase them off our northern boundary. The next afternoon, responding to their roaring in the area, we located two males, one of whom was mating with a lioness from the long lost Timbavati Pride (the same pride that had white lion cubs in 2009). These lionesses have returned to the Timbavatifrom the wilderness areas of the Krugerto the east, and it remains to be seen how long they will hang around. It would be wonderful if they could set up a safe territory under the protection of the Nharhu males to the north-east of Tanda Tula Safari Camp.

A little throwback to April 2020 with the six River Pride cubs still alive and well at Kings Camp Lodge...
Sadly, five of the six cubs have died a few weeks ago (31 July) was been update the report of the loss of the cubs..
Cathan Moore an incredible photographer saw them on the last afternoon they were all together. They headed into Klaserie and came back with only one cub...
Although until today the reasons of their death are unknown, A few factors might, lions, hyenas, or the white muscle disease...
The last cub now is roughly 6 months old, and is son of the "pale-lioness" who is one of the oldest lionesses of the River Pride

The River Pride featured rather prominently in our sightings last week, which was fantastic. The pride went on a very successful run of hunting, with three kills in three successive nights (an impala, followed by two zebras). Despite their fat bellies, the pride remained surprisingly mobile, something that has seemingly become the norm since the loss of five of their six cubs (check out our latest Sofa Safari on our Youtube channel where I discuss their fate a little more). Their movements kept taking them to the north of the concession for a couple of days at a time, before their inevitable return and the roars of the three Nharhu males that so often woke us in the early morning hours during lockdown now feel like a distant memory.
