Safari Update
The last couple of days have been very exciting with game viewing in the Manyeleti Game Reserve!
With great relief, we found the last Thanda Impi male ‘Scorro’ with the Mbiri pride a few nights ago! The sighting was short lived before they disappeared into the thickets and as expected the pride male still had a bad limp. Big herds of buffalo are scares during the summer time due to the excessive amounts of resources like grazing and water being widely scattered throughout the area. Therefore the Mbiri females have been battling in the hunting department and by their movements around Tintswalo lodge, it seems that their desperation for protein is rapidly increasing. And furthermore this desperation is driven by the fact that they have to produce milk for their young. So the pressure is on!
We managed to catch up with the Avoca/Giraffe coalition a couple of times this week! The usual number of four males were found with the Red Road pride in the central North of the Reserve. Reply
