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.
From Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve: "Maxabeni was seen quite a bit this weekend. He was close to Bush Lodge where he failed in an attempt to hunt some large Nyala bulls and then took some time out to relax as the sun set behind him."

From Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve: "The Kashane male killed a young warthog and put on quite a show for our guests. After relaxing for a while, he got up and went for a drink of water before heading towards the kill and hoisting it into a nearby tree."
From Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve: "We followed a drag mark towards a thick drainage line where the young White Dam male lay with a Duiker kill. Later in the afternoon, we returned to find him sleeping at the top of the nearby tree. We patiently waited for him to descend before he feasted on his prize."
From Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve: "Maxabeni was seen last night slowly making his way through the property after resting for a lengthy period during the heat of the day. During his territorial patrol, he spotted a Scrub Hare and was successful in securing a small meal."

From Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve: "Last night the Kashane male was seen moving through the Southern property very close to Earth Lodge. This morning he was found to be patiently waiting for warthog piglets in a nearby burrow within a termite mound… Video to follow with the outcome…"
While the Dayone male was on patrol he found a kill that belonged to another leopard , but his luck ran out shortly after when two Hyenas stole the kill from him.
From Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve: "We found the White Dam male hunting warthogs, but after giving away his presence, he made his way to an area of shade where his father, Maxabeni, had a duiker kill at the top of a tree."
Dewane and Mondzo met yesterday afternoon. Dewane has been showing surprising restraint toward his son, merely roaring at him and then accepting the young males presence in his territory.
From Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve: "The White Dam male was found not too far away from the area in which his father, Maxabeni, had a Common Duiker kill in the top of a large Weeping Boer-Bean tree. Here he was seen resting alongside the edge of a waterhole and later on attempted stalking anything he could potentially find before he rested beneath the tree in which his father was in."
From Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve: "The Kashane male was seen attempting to hunt Warthog again, but soon after, he lost interest and decided to make his way to a nearby waterhole for a drink just after the sun had set."
