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.

Throwback to 1997 at Satara!!
"No a great photo, but a good story: these two male lions were about 50 yards from the road and about 1.4 mile one of the Kruger rest camps - I forget which, but Satara was/is the lion capital, so maybe that. This was when we were going out for a late afternoon drive after checking in - when we came back an hour later they were still there, and there was a crush of cars stopped looking at them as they sauntered nonchalantly out of the grass and onto the road - we had the honour of having one of them piss against our real wheel! Bat that's another story: at this stage there was just us and a couple of other cars - one of which had a flat tyre, and had called out the AA, whose brave man was on the road replacing the wheel, looking back over his shoulder occasionally. At one point, the lions made a mock charge of about 20 meters - anyone who's watched lions knows that their acceleration is pretty good. The man's eye's went about the size and shape of saucers, but he stuck to his task, while the inhabitants of the car cheerily took photographs from the safety of their vehicle. Respect!"

Handsome Mo, looking great. He was with two lionesses today on the S25 opposite of Mjejane. He was “honeymooning” with one. Maybe Mo’s cubs are on their way soon, so he can continue his legacy.

Back to the year 2019 with a stunning captures of four of the mighty Mantimahle males patrolling their territory near the Nkhulu area, the Mantimahle males have been described by many of the photographers who frequent the Kruger National Park as some of the largest male lions they have ever seen.

Where is he? I assume he is no longer dominant over Leeupan area because of Torchwood/Fourways males.

It was in May he was seen alone in the road and a friend saw him a while ago too and he was alone then too. So not sure if other leeupan is alive and yea probably isnt dominant anymore but not sure. Near Tshokwane didn’t get an exact location
