Safari Update
The last couple of days has been sensational in the Manyeleti Game Reserve!
In the far north of the reserve, close to sky beds dam, the Mothlawareng ‘koppies’ lion pride was found snoozing at the dam wall. This area isn’t frequently visited by game viewers in general and the animals seem to be a little shy on approach. There was 3 lionesses with two cubs, approximately 8 months old and two young males thats about 3 years old.
Most of the action was happening in the central Manyeleti! The Mbiri pride of lions is still holding on to their piece of land and the dynamics of the pride is unchanged for now. The pride of 17 strong managed to kill an adult wildebeest and a buffalo the last couple of days and all the members of the pride is well fed. The 10 cubs are in superb condition and is growing stronger by the day! The two Thanda Impi male lions have been seen with the pride on multiple occasions, especially when the females made a kill! Scorro male lion, in the best condition his ever been, with confidence oozing from the 8 year old! Sizanani male lion is slowly but surely getting his strength back, especially when its cold, he still walks awkwardly with his impaired and injured hip.
The Nharu pride is going from strength to strength. The consequence of excellent maternal care by the Birmingham lionesses is now paying off! Their 10 sub-adult cubs are becoming a force to be reckoned with. These youngsters are almost 2 years old and is participating eagerly in all the hunts, causing the hunting success rate to gradually increase. This pride is in great condition and is still moving in the south eastern parts of the central Manyeleti Game Reserve.
