Tanda Tula update
Despite the bush drying, the condition of the veld in this part of the Greater Krugeris still very healthy, and we are surrounded by dense stands of tall grass, much to the delight of the elephants, rhinos and buffalos! It has made for more-challenging-than-usual viewing conditions, but despite this, the guests have enjoyed some good game viewing over the past week. It certainly helps having the lions tied to a couple of den sites, and the River Pride lioness with her three cubs were seen several times this week, when she brought the two-month old bundles of joy out into the Nhlaralumi to play. However, she always made sure that after play time, they returned to the thickets on the bank to hide for the day. There wasn’t as much action at the other lionesses den site, but we suspect that they will only start providing more regular views of her cubs once they get a week or two older.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author The Nharhu males remained ever-present in the area and this served to keep any competition at bay. Word on the Mayambula Pride suggests that they are still spending much of their time to the south of our concession, but their sojourns north have been more regular over the past few weeks, so I am confident that we will get to see them a little more regularly over the coming months. In the west, the Black Dam male seems to have held off the challenge of his sons (although some question whether it’s a challenge so much as a quest to form a larger coalition between father and sons), and was reported in the western section of the concession on a regular basis.  *This image is copyright of its original author

This morning, the Mayanbula pride were accompanied by the two majestic Mbiri males. The grass was too tall to get an accurate headcount of the pride that was fairly spread out. But we suspect that all of them, including the lionesses, were present at the time. The question begs what affect this would have on our residential pride if these boys had to move further north into the River pride’s territory. Hopefully, we can find them again in the upcoming days to regain some clarity on the developments of the current dynamics. Will be sure to keep you posted!

Their limping brother was less than a click away with two of the river pride lionesses by his side.  *This image is copyright of its original author
