A recent sighting of the white Birmingham male at Klaserie Private Nature Reserve
Photo credits: Terry Pickard July 2023 Special thanks to Lions of Timbavati FB group I was up early one morning in the Klaserie Nature Reserve to follow the sounds of a lion calling not far from where I was sleeping. After some searching I did not know I would come across one of my most special sightings in the African Bushveld. This Male White Lion was a spectacular sight and one I will always remember.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author
Tanda tula weekly update in photos - Photo credits: Chad Cocking at Tanda Tula
the Mayambula pride AWOL once again, it does give a chance for the smaller predators to show up in the east. That being said, we did find the remains of a dead hyena in the area where the Mayambula Pride past last week, so perhaps these apex predators had a run in. The absence of the Mayambula Pride could be as a result of the continued presence of the River Pride and the vocal Vuyela males. Although not as busy in the central regions as we would have liked, we did catch up with the River Pride lionesses most days this week. An interesting development was news that the lioness that was known to have a cub was seen mating with the Vuyela males again, leading us to suspect that perhaps she has lost her cub(s). The other two lionesses look pregnant, and we hope that they choose our concession to give birth when the time comes. In the latter part of the week, we also had a brief sighting of five of the Birmingham Breakaway males moving through the eastern sections of the reserve, but they continued at pace to the east. In the west, the Giraffe Pride made another visit to their eastern reaches of their large territory and killed a wildebeest one morning. From the reports we heard, the white male lion has ended up in the Klaserie as these males continue to search for a territory.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author

Their other six half brothers are still nomads and did i say there's six of them? How is it that these three are able to find pride land so soon vs the other six if not for their smart mentality? 
I'll get videos and pics of all of them soon - Due to the fact, often people from different camps give different names to lions - It’s very difficult to confirm who those two males are. The white male was seen in Ryan farm in the Umbabat

Monwana and Giraffe males taking a kill from whom I believe to be the Monwana Pride.
