“Skorro male, looking very renaissance with his wind blown mane. ” 
The solo King Skorokoro of the Nharhu males gets some love from one of the Western pride females in the Timbavati.

Tanda Tula update
Once again, the lions dominated the sightings this week, much to the dismay of the buffalos – a couple of which had far a less enjoyable week than we did. The Giraffe Pride made a return after their two-week hiatus and arrived the night of the rains and killed a buffalo bull some distance into the bush; fortunately with 23 lions on hand the pride made short work of this meal and Eric and I managed to track them down the next morning resting off their full bellies right next to the road. Fortunately, despite not being able to see the Giraffe Pride the day before, the Mayambula Pride remained in the area around Safari Camp for a couple of days after finishing off their buffalo kill and we got to see half of the pride (thirteen of 25 members – including the five remaining small cubs as sadly it appears as though one of the young ones has disappeared) as they rested in the open close to the road.  *This image is copyright of its original author We had a couple of warm days following the rain so things dried quickly and we were soon back to normal and got to enjoy the Giraffe Pride hanging around the area of Plains Camp for another three days before they headed back south; during that time the entire pride (25, including the two males) were found with a buffalo kill at a dam less than a kilometer from camp. The pride fed on the kill for a day before moving a little south, spending the day on our boundary; will keep my fingers crossed that they don’t stray too far next week. Two of the Birmingham Breakaway males were seen over the week following one of the many buffalo herds that are using the area at the moment.  *This image is copyright of its original author
A great sighting today of one of the Mbiri males roaring at Ngala, the territory of the Ross males, where in the recent months the Mbiri males have managed to capture some of their pride “Birmingham”.
Will the Mbiri males be able to drive out the Ross males and take full possession of Birmingham pride, or will the Roses stand up and fight for their territory and pride? Time will tell. Ngala, South Africa. Photographer Credit: @kitloph125 |
