No idea. Apparently the poor animal died in a snare. So he may be signal boosting something from a different reserve.

Just a few photos so far of the White male lion from the Birmingham pride. He has with his two brothers been feeding on a Rhino carcass since Wednesday morning the 20th of April. This Rhino was unfortunately killed by another Rhino.

One of the 2 Masangulo (Sark) male lions who has made our traverse part of their territory. They have fathered 13 cubs who are seen on an almost daily basis.

They are the undisputed rulers of our area of Balule after the departure of the Machaton lion coalition who set up camp north of the Olifants river.

Mongawane coalition, wishing these boys get to rule for long!!

Mapoza on his patrols in the northern parts of Thornybush. One wonders how much longer this awesome Lion will be in control of the Monwana pride. There has been a lot of Lion activity in the reserve of late, and it’s only a matter of time before their paths cross which will end up in a fight for dominance. We’ll wait and see how it unfolds…

Tanda Tula update

Before the title of the blog gets you excited at the prospect of seeing photos of the Mayambula Pride’s new cubs, I need to say that we are still waiting for the new litters to be revealed, but that didn’t stop the older cubs from showing themselves a few times.  The pride remained active in the east, and our guides got to see them on a kill for a change!  With four lionesses missing and no males present, the three mothers and their eight cubs spent a couple of days on a zebra kill in the east before moving back towards the Machaton Riverbed.  The pride had been seen on successive days leading up to this kill, and the other lionesses were coming and going from this portion of the pride.  It will be interesting to see whether or not the mothers of the new cubs do rejoin this portion of the pride once the cubs are bigger?  That is however jumping the gun, as we are still waiting to see them!

The River Pride were also found with two zebra kills this week, and unsurprisingly, the pride is looking in great shape, despite missing the oldest lioness.  She was last seen mating with the limping Nharhu male in the northern Timbavati and hasn’t rejoined the pride.  A lone lioness was found with a young giraffe kill on the banks of the Nhlarulumi, but we suspect she is a member of the Sark Pride.  A few other Sark lionesses were seen at the sight of the buffalo kill made by the Vuyela males, and it was both encouraging and breathe-taking to see all five of these large males together again!  Needless to say, they made short work of the buffalo before heading back to Klaserie, but their tracks were found near Nkhari Homestead a couple of days later.  The Giraffe Pride also left us quite a few signs near Plains Camp, but sadly they returned to the south of our concession on both occasions.
