There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Follow Boyela Pride Drinking (Credit: Peter Betts) “The largely unknown but largest pride of lions in Kruger >> the Boyela Pride with over 30 members whereas the pretender to the throne the S100 White Lion Pride only has about 20 lions. I found them this morning drinking at the Mpholongo River 1 km from the Sirheni Turn off about 7 kms from Boyela Windmill in the golden hour just after sunrise.“

The Boyela pride over the years has been a super pride that is divided into smaller sub-groups (separated to be able to hunt), some of the people usually call it by different names; Boyela/Mpholongo/Sirheni/Babalala/Magamba as that is the territory of this mega pride, in 2017 the Boyelas had more than 55 members, have a large number of dispersed descendants currently .
