RE: Lions of Timbavati - Potato - 10-11-2021
Few things compare to staring straight into the eyes of a wild lion! The two dominant males of the River pride, Hosi and Socha, have been away from the females recently - most likely covering their territory and protecting their borders from intruder males.
Recently, after hearing the telltale roar in the morning, guide Emily managed to locate Hosi as he marched across his territory - a phenomenal sighting of such a powerful creature who we are pleased to see is looking strong as ever

Tanda Tula update
The lions were hit or miss this past week with the Mayambula pride once again walking large distances on a daily basis, and their movements became more erratic after the pride split during the course of the week. We found six lionesses and the two Skorro males close to a buffalo herd one morning, but when evening came, rather than pursuing the nearby buffalo, the pride walked off in a completely different direction. The rain that night made tracking them down the next day more challenging, but after breakfast the trackers located on four lionesses, but goodness knows where the rest of the pride got to. A few days later the two males returned to the area but other than a few tracks, there were not many further signs of them. The two young members of the Sark breakaways were found fat bellied near a dry Reflection Dam one morning, and spent 36 hours sleeping in the same spot – not because they were lazy but rather due to their enormous bellies.

Johan Adolf Smalman: We had a very brief visual of the young Scorro Male Lion again recently. Unfortunately he was chased away by the two Black Dam Males.

Shame about that poor boy, all alone.

He was chased into Ngala side. The Black dam males crossed over Ngala following a herd of buffalo. Interesting times ahead
RE: Lions of Timbavati - Mabingilane - 10-12-2021
I see a lot of Junior in him. Especially when Junior was around 4 years old.
Some say he is a Buddy 2.0 and i guess it's all subjective. But damn, he is definitely a strapping young lad.
