I believe Rob rotates between Sabi Sands and the Zebra Plains Mara Camp. Not sure of his schedule tho.  Either way Tinyo is definitely better from the rescent videos and pics I've seen. Reply

Pssst, check out his Instagram account

Hey guys, He isn't the 'Rob the ranger' that worked in Sabi Sands in the past. It's Robin Hester. You can found him on Instagram as Gameranger_Rob as our poster @Tonpa mentioned Reply

Today, The injured Birmingham male with Kambula pride were seen kicking out the Nkuhuma male at @londolozi after he was beaten. The good thing, the Nkuhuma male managed to escape at last, and the Birmingham male Tinyo who has been in poor condition for the past weeks, appears again and has recovered a lot of condition. Here, accompanied by one of his sons from the Kambula pride, feeding on a buffalo kill.

Great updates and sighting by Euce Madonsela.

Londolozi, South Africa.

Good to see Tinyo doing better, also that he still has fire and power to fight..

I think i never see lion with so much scars on his face like Tinyo thru his life..

If both Bboys keep close with massive Kambula pride/breakeaway , chances that N. Avocas push them out completely are not great..

Even if Avocas get all adult Kambula females eventually, they can just move around with 13 subadults, who are becoming one of the strongest force in Sabi Sands, especially if 2 Bboys are in their company and will prob without a problem establish their territory (thats a lot of lions).. Reply
