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 don't control all of central Sabi Sands like Bboys did. In fact, their territory as it is unfolding with the two S1 males is smaller than what the Bboys (Nhenha and Tinyo) once controlled in 2019-2021. Mala Mala, Londolozi, Umkumbe, Sabi Sabi. The Bboys obviously slowly lost portions of this territory in 2021.
Bboys also never fully controled northern Londolozi and MalaMala, N. Avocas came in that empty area in 2020.
Ndhzengas currently definitely control more land then Bboys did, they control all land that Tinyo and Nhenha controled thru 2020-21, plus they still have Sabi Sabi, which Bboys didnt had (occasionaly seen at northeastern border).
This is approx. Ndhzengas current territory :

But we see that they are seen less and less south, so in future they will definitely move further north into central Sabi Sands completley.
The Bboys in my opinion held more land from 2019-2021. The Bboys still held majority of Mala Mala and Londolozi. Lions would occasionally be seen in their territory but the Bboys would push back into those areas. Nhenha was seen patrolling till beyond Bush Camp Sabi Sabi in Aug 2020 and the Bboys pushed even further when chasing the Nwaswitshaka Males earlier that year. The Bboys were even seen in areas beyond what we would consider their territory on occasions such as in Kirkmans Kamp in 2019, Singita on multiple occasions, far east of Mala Mala on multiple occasions, Cheetah Plains 2020 and they would push boundaries when chasing lions. Like Nhenha in northern Londolozi chasing the two Avocas, Singita when he chased the two Nwalungu males, southern Sabi Sabi when chasing the Nwaswitshaka, southern Sabi Sabi when Nhenha chased the Plains Camp males and their sisters, Northern Mala Mala when they chased the Nkuhuma and Avocas(seen at Mlowathi Dam), Eastern border when chasing the Fourways pride and Kruger Males. This is their territory between 2019-2021 IMO. And the yellow circles is the areas they would push on occasion.
