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.
They are living as nomads in areas where unlike sabi sands there aren't many reports of sightings on social media accounts made. As far as I know, tintswalo lodge is the only lodge in the manyeleti which reports sightings on a regular bases. Also, all these lodges north of the sabi sands probably don't know know of the matimbas and see them just as two old males who can't compete for territory anymore. To us they are characters we have followed for years, but not to others. The lodges that do report sightings focus on resident prides and coalitions and are less likely to report on a coalition that is past it's prime and is only seen sporadically. All this is why we don't see many reported sightings of the matimbas anymore.
