Lions of Timbavati

Klaserie Drift update

The River pride have not disappointed either this month. Hosi and Socha have been seen several times in the company of 3 females - one of which may be in oestrus - and were even spotted full-bellied and content with an impressive giraffe kill. As the cubs get older, they seem to be more confident in spending longer periods away from the pride as they seek new mating opportunities. The cubs themselves are still not old enough to hunt and are often left to their own devices by the females as they search for dinner, resulting in several wonderful sightings of the little ones playing and relaxing by themselves. The pride lionesses are working ever harder to feed these growing bellies, turning to the highly distracted impala rams - that are currently rutting - for easy meals. On one such occasion, guide Emily located the pride just after making such an impala kill and our guests spent a thrilling half hour watching them brawl and squabble over the small meal.
