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.
"My ultimate MAPOGO's sighting was one sunrise when they came close by a waterwhole by Savanna, the 5 Brothers and their Father, that would cross between Londolozi and the other side in Singita. That sighting, with the sounds, the greetings between them, the brothers and their Father was absolutely unique and fabulous, heaven! They staied together for quite a long time, some hours. As per SS rules, the first 1 1/2 hrs IF the sighting is found in one's territory, that territory do not need to pass the info on, so it was only 3 vehicles that watched this, my vehicle, Paddy's and the other from Savanna. They all dranked there, greeted, rubbed, roared as they greeted, lay down together, would get up and lay down and would take turns it will die with me, in my memory, so help me God. I do miss the MAPOGO's every single time I go by Sabi Sands, however their Spirit lives there!
With due respect, I often ask to please NOT remember the bad days, the last days, BUT to remember that as the ultimate warriors they were, brave lions and that their genes remain there. They came from the SPARTA pride, also a mighty pride! A most respected pride."
