Giraffe pride killed a giraffe and the 2 Xikukutsu males arrived and chased them off. Later the day the 2 males also disappeared and the hyenas took over.

A recent video of the Monwana males with the Giraffe pride at Kambaku Lodges.
These two boys still are in the process to took-over the pride and establish the dominance on Timbavati area...

Giraffe pride is back with the two new dominant males.

The females still seem a little apprehensive towards the males, but it does explain why these two boys have been so quiet lately !!

Michael Laubscher: " The light reflected across the African skies after sunset is just spectacular.

You must take full advantage of it.
This image was shot at a 10th of a second.
Now this is extremely slow but with a static subject and a very steady camera the results are just phenomenal. "

One of the Mbiri males also referred as "younger" or "smaller"
Brilliant Lion sighting seen recently on the S145.
They were on a Buffalo kill.
When plenty of food is available, lions stuff themselves with food into near immobility (being unable to move around). That's why you'll see them next to a kill for a while and immobile.

Black Dam breakaways in good shape 





Few intresting comments by lodge under the video:

"The six young males that grew up in this pride are now three years old, and will in all probability stay together as a coalition. Their pride male, the Giraffe male, has not been seen in several months, which allowed the young males to stay in their natal territory."

"Correct. He was fathered by one of the two dominant males at the time (Ring and Ghana). Thornybush was still a fenced-in system then. Both his fathers were killed by Buffalo on separate occasions."  Irony that BD male was gorged as well.

"The Blackdam male was a dominant male of this pride, and was ousted just over three years ago by the Giraffe male (From the giraffe pride). The Blackdam male then moved north and east, and became the dominant male of the Giraffe pride. So, essentially the two males swopped prides. The Giraffe male is the farther of the six young males, but has been missing for several months. The Blackdam male died in the Timbavati Game reserve, and we have received reports that he was killed by rival males. We are not too familiar with these details, as it happened outside our area of operation. Thanks for all the interest."
