Was BYM named Osindile??  

Yes, that was his name for a long time although it is rarely used.

Yeah but isn't Osindile NOT an official name? Ist it one of those circumstances of a photographer or a safari person started calling him that?


RE: Lions of Timbavati - Tonpa - 09-06-2022

Yeah it's a Facebook name

There is at least ONE instance.   The guide on a WE live called him that.   He was apparently scolded for it and he’s refrained for using it again :).  

It’s his “social media” name.   

I don’t ever understand the commotion and how bent people get with names.    I mean is CASPER really a guide/ranger name?   Yet it seems widely adopted.   

Anyways.   I digress.  :)

Me neither. Just seems a bit overzealous.

What was going on in that short video? A male chasing some lionesses? Who were they?

Nhenha and NYM are now back together heading south. I hope they're not looking for the PC Boys.
