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.
The lion dynamics on the property have been quite interesting as of late. Each and every night we have heard lions roaring from the camp in all different directions which for us is very exciting!
The Othawa male lion was seen mating with one of the Nsevu pride females which comes as a complete surprise after spending so much time with the Mhangeni pride. It seems as though he is mating with the one female from the Nsevu pride who has been, so far, unsuccessful in bearing her own litter.
With impala rutting season in full force, the Mhangeni pride have been using this opportunity to hunt around Castleton Dam, as this is the perfect central source for food and water.
There were no sightings of the Othawa pride this month as they appear to be spending a lot of time in the west, this includes the Matimba male lion.
The Styx pride have made a few appearances in the northern part of the property and the single Nkuhuma young male has also been viewed making his way through the area just south of our lodges.
