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.
With rutting male impalas drawing the attention of many predators, it’s been a busy month for the Mhangene Pride. We’ve watched them kill impala rams a number of times, making for some excellent game viewing.
The Othawa male killed a buffalo calf close to one of our pans in the south providing an exciting but emotional sighting.

We are unsure of the number of newborn cubs within the Mhangene Pride. On the 8th April one guide was lucky enough to find a mother with four new cubs, however they haven’t been seen since. It’s always hard to say if they are alive or not, as there are so many factors against their survival. We continue to monitor the pride’s movements and hope to see some small pawprints alongside the adults.
