There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Lions of Sabi Sands

The Tumbelas look like big boys. These guys have a very bright future if they can get a hold on the western block, by far the safest piece of land around. Might end up fathering multiple generations from the same 1 or 2 prides.

The  Western area of Sabi Sands always was incredible for the male lions especially if they want sired and raising cubs into the adulthood...
I hope the best for HB,But would be really great see new blood into SS and mostly when comes from a very special lion like was Sizanani,Now is time of his sons does by themselves

In response to a question whether Matimba Male carries any internal injury? He said he can't be sure.

Brandon added that he wasn't seen for 2 days until last night about at 6 near the fence. He was jabbed by a buffalo.

The three young Tumbela Males are pushing further west and south into the Hairy Belly Matimba’s territory.

The long withstanding Matimba Male is not putting up a fight.

Are these males here to stay?

@"TinoArmando" I fixed your video. An explanation of what exactly I fixed, it is as follows:

In your link "
[video=facebook]https://www.facebook.com/DuliniLodge/videos/1207977552914194/[/video]
" I have changed "https://www.facebook.com/DuliniLodge/videos/1207977552914194/" to "https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1207977552914194" 

Your links should work moving forward if you will use "https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=" in them from now on, and simply add the number provided in the FB link, which in this case is "1207977552914194", at the end.

Let us know if you need further help my friend.

Sorry for my bad englich, but it doesn't matter, if they are big, the biggest or not.
May be they will look impressive, when they will be full grown.
They don't need to be very big for it (my wife is not as big as me, but angry, sh's very very impressive, believe it).

Well played my friend, almost had my coffee come out of my nose reading this one.

The 2 famous Mbiri Males are inching closer to sabisands and Manyeleti boundaries. These Males do not shy away from a confrontation. Should be interesting times ahead.

They have been heard roaring.

HB was seen today by Ryan Johnston.
He was looking really good and he didn't mention any kind of internal injury!

No offence bro but that's spreading misinformation. Firstly the Mbiri Males Scar and Shaka are on the other side of the reserve. The Manyelethi game reserve is 230 Square Kilometres, its huge. The Mbiri Males are also pride Males who don't travel far away from their territory. Unless they are forced to go nomadic, they will never ever see Sabi Sands Game Reserve Ever for the rest of their lives.

Hey Nathan... I'm not nobody to tell what you need do.
But I really appreciate if you can give accurate info because yesterday you have confirmed that 1 N'waswitshaka was dead and was the otherwise.
also about that HB has a very internal injury and a few hours ago my eyes have see the otherwise too.
The Mbiri males not are even close to SS.

Tumbela Males may look like 3 year old Males but are actually 5 years old now.

So looks don't always tell the correct age of a lion. Skorro Males who are over 6 years old also looked like 3/4 year old males.
