The Battle of Imbali - Matimbas vs Avoca Males - PART 4

The challengers – Avoca Males coalition.
These young males first walked onto the Imbali concession at the end of November 2017. We suspected that they could possibly be looking to move into this territory permanently. It was confirmed that these males came from further north in Greater Kruger Park area and they were known as the Avoca male coalition. The Mluwati males who are resident males on the concession have rec...ently been active only in the southern part of the concession and to the north the two old Matimbas were keeping a low profile. The perfect opportunity for these three to establish a territory of their own. Over the next couple of weeks, it became clear that they meant business as they became more vocal and started scent marking everywhere they went. They killed a buffalo just off the S36 on the far eastern side of the concession a couple of days before the confrontation with the Matimbas.
