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.
“After some time of uncertainty for many of the lions at Sabi Sabi, things are seemingly starting to settle down. The Gijima males managed to kill a young buffalo and were found looking uncomfortably full before making their way to drink water close to Earth Lodge.
The Southern Pride brought down a large waterbuck not far from where we suspect the older lioness to have a den for her cubs. When seeing the Queen of the Southern Pride, it was clear that she had been suckling young. These young are the first produced by the Gijima males who have both been seen mating with the female. We are anxiously waiting for the privilege of viewing these cubs.
The Styx Pride too have been extremely successful over the past week and every time we find them, they look as though they have all had a good meal as they did again this morning, not far from Little Bush Camp. The pride is looking healthy again and it is possibly time to accept that the pride now consists of ten members. There is very little pressure from other lions in the centre to the West of our reserve and we are hoping they finally settle in this area which has a very high density of plains game.”
