Lions of Timbavati

[Peteporker]

From Tintswalo Safari Lodge, August 12, 2018

The lions as always have fulfilled their part this week, the main focus this week was the Avoca male lions in the South. These 3 boys seem to have settled completely in the South and mating with numerous females. We had 2 males mating with different females from the Talamati pride we think! News from the Sabi Sands is that the other male is mating with a Nkuhuma female. These males seem to be getting no resistance from the Birmingham males in the Sabi Sands.

The Mbiri pride are doing well with the young Nharu male growing in size every day and still making no attempt to join his orginal pride. The Nharu pride is also doing well and we saw 10 of them all together this week.

The Koppies pride was also seen this week aswell as the 3 Giraffe/Avoca males still doing their rounds in the Central Manyeleti and stealing kills from the Nharu and Mbiri prides. Let’s hope we have new males moving into the North soon!

News from the South today was the the Nkuhuma pride and Talamati were in very close proximity of each around a buffalo carcass. We are heading down there today so stay tuned for next week’s update!
