Lions of Timbavati

[sik94]

The drama continues for the mbiri pride of lions and their pride male Scorro! The birmingham pride accompanied by the giraffe male lions have made their way into the heart of the mbiri's territory and the mbiri's with their cubs haven’t been seen for the last six days. The last remaining Thanda Impi male Scorro was found four days ago on Tintswalo Safari Lodges’s reception road by himself listening intently to the distant roars of the giraffe males. The rival pride managed to bring down a buffalo at ingwemanzi on the morning of the 25th and they’ve stayed in the area ever since. We are holding thumbs that the five mbiri lionesses and their 13 cubs were able to stay under the radar of these gigantic and formidable males!
In the far south of the Reserve, we were quite fortunate to spend time with the nkuhuma pride in the company of the birmingham males! They’ve killed a buffalo very close to the Manyelti Game Reserve/Sabi Sands boundary during the early hours of Thursday morning and finished the bovid that same day! Reply
