Them being around Pertoriuskop and Shitlave Dam means that Phabenis are gone?

Any word what happened to Phabenis? Reply

Edit: never mind, Gijimas are on the H11.

I could be wrong, but my understanding is that H11 and H1-1 are the same road. But, it is a long road from the map I saw, meaning the Gijimas may be miles away. Reply

I'd be willing to bet the Kambulas ousted the Phabeni. Reply

No, different roads.

H11 is short road from Kruger Gate to Skukuza, just south of Sabi Sands.

H1-1 is further south, long road from Pretoriuskop to H3 road, connecting with H3 ~ half way from Skukuza to Jock. Reply

Well Phabenis where split, Blondie and 3rd male where around Nyamundwa Dam, while 2 twins where around Shitlave - Pretoriuskop, further south.

It might be that Kambulas ousted Blondie and 3rd male last year around Nyamundwa, as they become territorial there.

But recently @Brahim said that only 1 Phabeni is still seen (i guess 1 of twins) and now Kambulas are seen further south around twins territory.

So idk what happened exactly with Phabenis, without further info, we can just guess.

Unfortunatley this area is also known for poaching, and these guys where impressive males (not saying that was the case).

Can remember when was the last sighting of them together. Reply
