I think I will just jump straight into showing you all the interesting characters that have been around for a week or so now. Most of you will know that lions, especially the males, are violently territorial beasts. So much so that they are well known to kill or at least seriously maim each other when intruders are found to be enjoying the luxury of one’s home ground. The area around Tanda Tula is deep in the Nharhu coalition’s territory, and these three males do not take kindly to invaders. Enter the Sumatra and Hercules males. These two brutes had already been sighted towards the end of last week and what’s more is that they were found on a kill! It didn’t last long however, as the Nharhu boys were very quick to chase them from their meal, at the end of the day three versus two is most often going to go the obvious route. You would think that after this altercation they would have gotten the idea and moved off, but instead they decided to linger and enjoy the views of the forbidden land a little longer. Luckily for me, I was able to catch up with them just before they left the area!

Lastly, an update on the resident lions – the River Pride! They have finally returned from their journey to the east, towards the Kruger National Park. They were just lazing about and looking as gorgeous as ever towards the east of our concession and what’s more is that the three Nharhu males were there with them. These males are really starting to come into their own as they get older and reach their peak physical form. Their manes are starting to look more ‘lion-ly’ and their demeaners are statelier than ever! It’s wonderful to see them keeping such a close eye on the remaining cub and the four females, even if that does mean the girls have a kill or two stolen by the much larger males every once in a while.
