Fortunately, over the last week, if we heard lions roaring, we knew they weren’t far. I think we can thank Chad for this because it seems every time he goes on leave or isn’t driving, they come out and allow us to view them. They have provided us with some very entertaining sightings over the last few days as the pride has brought their new cubs along, and it is always fun to see them interact with other more mature lions when they are trying to sleep and rest, ready for the night full of hunting. The giraffe pride also managed to live up to its name and take down a fully grown giraffe bull close to by. This is a great achievement, last time I counted there were 24 lions in the pride, so a large giraffe bull weighing almost 2000 kg is the perfect meal. The ever-present lions are however affecting other animals in and around the area. Leopard sightings have been scarce as we believe the lions must have forced them to their southern boundaries to avoid being found or having a kill stolen from them.

Giraffe pride is a force to be reckoned with now. A lot of lions moving throughout the Timbavati.  Mayambula is a super pride now Reply
