Lions of Timbavati

Safari Update
Another epic week has gone by in the Manyeleti Game Reserve!
The Mbiri lion pride made a comeback and we found them close to the lodge in the core of their territory. To our surprise, they were followed by a young male from the Nharhu pride! He kept his distance for a day, but kept on persisting and trailed the Mbiri's until we found them yesterday napping together west of the lodge.
The lone and injured Mbiri female left the area the day before her pride arrived, and mistimed their arrival by a few hours. The next day we learnt that the lone lioness was found in the Northern Sands. Will she survive? Only time will tell.
The Giraffe males managed to join up with the Red road pride and their formidable Avoca male in the northern parts of the central areas. The Giraffe males were moving as nomads for quite some time and because of this, their condition deteriorated. Since they’ve joined up with familiar faces, their bellies were full the last time we saw them. Seven Individuals from the Birmingham lion pride also made their way back into the Manyeleti for a day and returned to the southern Timbavati shortly after their visit.
In the south of the Reserve, the three younger Avoca males were found close to Dixie koppies. One of the males had a bad gash on his rear and could’ve been gored by a buffalo.
Multiple cheetah, Cape hunting dogs and leopard such as Beacon male were seen throughout the week! Reply
