Lions of Timbavati

[Potato]

Tanda Tula update

The Mayambula Pride have still been active in the east, with one lioness and the Skorro males leaving signs all around the den site, but as for the whole their whereabouts and movements remain a mystery.  Their visits to the area have been erratic at best, and we can only assume that the other lionesses have given birth to the east of our concession.  With these lions being far less active than expected, the River Pride have been free to roam back into the area and have been relatively regular visitors to the northern parts of our concession, with the pride popping in a couple of times a week, and spending a day or two at a time here. 

The Ross and Hercules lionesses have also been active to the west of camp, and four Vuyela males and one Sark lioness also showed up in the west this past week.  Guy also found the Sumatra male mating with a Giraffe Pride lioness on our access road close to the entrance to the Timbavati.  So whilst the lions have been far from a guarantee over the past three weeks, there have still been five different prides showing themselves over this time, and we look forward to more lion viewing over the coming weeks, including what will hopefully be our first view of the new lion cubs!
